Italiano: La Stella Granata (Erakis/La Stella Granata di Herschel/μ Cephei) è una stella nella costellazione di Cefeo. Essa è una supergigante rossa di classe spettrale M2Ia. La stella è molto vecchia, ha già iniziato a fondere l'elio in carbonio, dopo aver cessato la normale fusione di idrogeno in elio. Al termine della propria vita, essa esploderà in una supernova, che probabilmente lascierà un buco nero denso e grosso.
