Umm, I don't think this could be right. A Red Supergiant star is releasing
ALOT of energy, but for the most part, it's no where near the temperature of
lets say, a Blue Giant (the hottest type of star I know of.)

Also, the only things producing reactions in the star, as far as I know, are
deep in the core, and consist of Hydrogen fusing together to make Helium,
sometimes with something left over.
