Beta Centauri (proper name Hadar) is a blue-white super giant and in about 4,000 years, the proper motion of Alpha Centauri will carry it close enough to Beta Centauri that they will appear to be a magnificent double star.
Perhaps the most famous of the red giants is the star Betelguese, in the constellation Orion. In fact, this is a true super giant, with a diameter many times that of the Sun.
Dwarf star: A star, which lies on the main sequence and is too small to be classified as a giant star or a super giant star. For example, the Sun is a yellow dwarf star.

Canopus is a blue-white super giant and its estimated distance is from 74 to 300 light years depending on which source you consult. Obviously, some distance measuring still needs to be done on southern hemisphere stars! ...
Examples of well-known stars in the RG phase are Aldebaran (Alpha Tauri) and Mira (Omicron Ceti). More massive Main Sequence stars evolve more quickly and expand further to become Red Super Giants (RSG).
super giant These are the largest, brightest stars known. Of luminosity classes I, they are found along the top of the HR diagram and have evolved from high-mass main sequence stars (> about 11 solar masses).
