Something not right here. Supergiant is labelled wrong and the star when you jump in, well I've not seen a B spin like this one does.

The OP is absolutely correct. HIP 26939 is described in the text as a "Class A blue-white supergiant ... The star has begun expanding towards being a red supergiant". However it has over 11 solar masses, but a radius of 0.2773 - and it is spinning very quickly - visually I'd be guessing well under a minute for a full rotation. Maybe one of the astro-physicists can comment but this certainly seems very counter-intuitive text for what is shown.
