Making star system that orbits a blue supergiant work
The Next CEO of Stack OverflowWhat is a good example of a progression from the current state of Cryogenic freezing, to a working system used for interstellar travel?planetery system with two suns in K-PAXStory with a miniature solar systemHow was the messaging system in The Arrows of Time (Orthogonal #3, by Greg Egan) supposed to work?First mention of antimatter as a weapon systemWhat was the first work of science fiction to feature a counter-Earth?What is the first work to feature a planet that is one city?SF Story identification 1960s story Analog magazine aliens conquer Earth by making everyone fall asleepHow is the vacuum of Star Wars space different from that of the Milky Way?Sci-fi story with the premise that spacetime geometry is Riemannian
Of course the obvious answer would be it doesn't work, a blue supergiant will only live millions of years before it supernovas and becomes a pulsar or black hole. However, my question relates to the mechanics of how such a star system could work physically and not how it originates. So, with disbelief suspended, are there any astrophysicists that could venture an educated guess as to how a system of planets would orbit a star like this? If so, how far away would they need to be to exist in the "Goldilocks" zone? How would this configuration effect seasons on the planets or would that solely depend on the tilt of the planets' axes? What would the sky look like on planets that orbit such a star? I'd love to hear input. As this is all extremely theoretical and fanciful, I know hard answers are difficult to come by. Thank you!
