HIP 116454 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star HIP 116454, 55 parsecs (180 ly) from Earth toward the constellation Pisces. It is 32,000 kilometres (20,000 mi) in diameter and 12 times as massive as Earth. It was discovered jointly by the NASA Kepler spacecraft and the Canadian MOST satellite, and is the first exoplanet discovered during Kepler's K2 mission. The discovery was announced on December 18, 2014. HIP 116454 b does not have normal Kepler designation due to not being located in the original Kepler field.
HIP 116454 b was discovered from engineering data set which was preformed in preparation of full subsequent campaigns. Unlike most other Kepler planets, only a single transit event of HIP 116454 b was detected. In addition to MOST satellite, the transit had to be followed up by radial velocity measurements.
