Antares, with a mass of approximately 3.08 x 10^31 kg, is classified as a red supergiant star. This classification is due to its large mass, size, and relatively cool surface temperature compared to other massive stars. Red supergiants are typically found in the late stages of stellar evolution, having exhausted the hydrogen in their cores and expanded significantly. Antares is also notable for being one of the brightest stars in the night sky, often referred to as the "heart of the Scorpion" in the constellation Scorpius.
