WASP-47 is a star similar in size and brightness to the Sun about 881 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius. It lies within the Kepler K2 campaign field 3. It was first noticed to have a hot Jupiter exoplanet orbiting every 4 days in 2012 by the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) team. While it was thought to be a typical hot Jupiter system, three more planets were found in 2015: an outer gas giant within the habitable zone, a hot Neptune exterior to the hot Jupiter's orbit and a super-Earth interior to the hot Jupiter's orbit. WASP-47 is the only planetary system known to have both

WASP-47 is the only planetary system known to have both planets near the hot Jupiter and another planet much further out.
==Nomenclature and history== Prior to the discovery of its planets, WASP-47 was given the 2MASS designation of 2MASS J22044873-1201079. It was also observed by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and given the designation WISE J220448.74-120108.4. When observed by NASA's K2 mission, it was given the Ecliptic Plane Input Catalog designation of EPIC 206103150, and later named K2-23 after the discovery of planets d and e.
