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.
