89 Herculis is a sixth-magnitude star in the constellation Hercules. Located about 4,000 light years away,[2] it is among a rare class of stars known as yellow supergiants. Although the star's parallax measurement still has a large error factor of ± 1,300ly making the calculation of other stellar parameters difficult, the star is believed to have a radius of 60 R yielding a bolometric luminosity of 7000–9000 L.[5]
