Iota Draconis b, formally named Hypatia , is an exoplanet orbiting the K-type giant star Iota Draconis about 101.2 light-years from Earth in the constellation Draco. The exoplanet was found by using the radial velocity method, from radial-velocity measurements via observation of Doppler shifts in the spectrum of the planet's parent star. It was the first planet discovered orbiting a giant star.
