Answer to Question 1

No, it is not in a close binary system to produce Type I events, and it is not nearly massive enough to fuse elements all the way to iron in its core.

Answer to Question 2

The Polynesian people live on a group of widely separated islands in the South Pacific. Knowledge of the stars allowed navigators to determine their latitude and direction, both essential for traveling the large distances from island to island.
