Nov 27, 2021 at 15:10 comment added Adrian Colomitchi @MikeScott "if the star is that much hotter than our sun, it won’t last long enough for complex life to evolve on its planets" A 1000K increase is not even a fever, much less a terminal illness. 6500k is bang in the middle the F-type main sequence star at 1.2M☉. The formula for the star lifetime-to-red-giant is $10^{10}(M/M☉)^{-2.5}$ years. For 1.2, the value is $6.34Gy$. The age of Sun is $4.6Gy$ and the age of Earth is $4.54Gy$ - both comfortably fit in the $6.34Gy$ limit.
