    Giant star

    A giant star is a star with substantially larger radius and luminosity than a main-sequence (or dwarf) star of the same surface temperature. They lie above the main sequence (luminosity class V in the Yerkes spectral classification) on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram and correspond to luminosity classes II and III. The terms giant and dwarf were coined for stars of quite different luminosity despite similar temperature or spectral type by Ejnar Hertzsprung about 1905.

    Giant stars have radii up to a few hundred times the Sun and luminosities between 10 and a few thousand times that of the Sun. Stars still more luminous than giants are referred to as supergiants and hypergiants.

    A hot, luminous main-sequence star may also be referred to as a giant, but any main-sequence star is properly called a dwarf no matter how large and luminous it is.

    Formation

    A star becomes a giant star after all the hydrogen available for fusion at its core has been depleted and, as a result, leaves the main sequence. The behaviour of a post-main-sequence star depends largely on its mass.

    Giant (band)

    Giant is an American melodic hard rock band that was formed in 1987. The band consisted of founding members Dann Huff (lead vocals & guitar) and Alan Pasqua (keyboard), and had Dann's brother David Huff on drums and Mike Brignardello on bass. The Huff brothers were part of the founding members of the Christian rock band White Heart.

    The band scored one hit, the 1990 power ballad "I'll See You In My Dreams", written by Alan Pasqua and Mark Spiro.

    Giant disbanded in the early 90s after recording two albums, but resurfaced in 2000 minus Alan Pasqua and released the album III in late 2001.

    In December 2009, it was announced by Frontiers Records that they will be releasing Giant's latest album Promise Land in 2010. Writing for the album started in April 2009 and will include Terry Brock (Strangeways, Seventh Key) on lead vocals and John Roth (Winger) on guitars. Dann Huff will not be a part of the band due to his busy schedule but has co-written seven songs and guested on guitar on two. The release dates were February 26, 2010 for Europe and March 9, 2010 for the US.

    GIANT

    by: Stan Rogers

    Cold wind on the harbour and rain on the road
    Wet promise of winter brings recourse to coal
    There's fire in the blood and a fog on Bras d'Or
    The giant will rise with the moon.
    'Twas the same ancient fever in the Isles of the Blest
    That our fathers brought with them when they "went West"
    It's the blood of the Druids that never will rest
    The giant will rise with the moon.
    So crash the glass down! move with the tide!
    Young friends and old whiskey are burning inside.
    Crash the glass down! Fingal will rise
    With the moon.
    In inclement weather the people are fey
    Three thousand year stories as the night slips away
    Remembering Fingal feels not far away
    The giant will rise with the moon.
    The wind's in the north, there be new moon tonight
    And we have no circle to dance in it's sight
    So light a torch, bring bring the bottle and build the fire bright
