When astronomers search for planets orbiting other stars, they usually look for lower mass stars like our sun and red dwarfs. Is it possible to detect planets orbiting giant stars, such as Betelgeuse or VY Canis Major? If so, have any been detected.
If they haven't been, what would such a system be like? Would it be more likely to form more planets, since it came from a bigger gas cloud? And, would any planets form far enough away to remain intact after the supernova?
I know it would be pointless for life, considering the slow process of evolution, this is just a curiosity.
