the tool for selecting the star type in star browser is really weird. for example, things like subgiants are only 1 category, but M-type giants are somehow their own whole category

imo this should be all the types:
Hypergiant
Supergiant
Giant
Subgiant
Main-Sequence
Subdwarf
Carbon Star
Wolf-Rayet
White Dwarf
Neutron Star
Black Hole
Planemo

for different spectral types (M, K, G, F, etc) you can use the other pop-up

since the “red giants” is specifically for M-types

probably should just be 1:1 w/ HR luminosity classes + unconventional types (WR stars, protostars, and remnants

you can search for them by doing red giants -> G

#

its misleading because it should be just "giant" but it sure works. it's mostly missing stuff like searching for specific carbon star/white dwarf types but that can be done with a bug anyways.
