Pisces B (Psc B) is an irregular void dwarf galaxy within the Local Void in the constellation Pisces, near Pisces A, and lies 9.2 megaparsecs (30 million light-years) away from the Earth. It was discovered by Yale, Columbia, and CalTech astronomers using the WIYN Observatory in November 2014, along with its neighbor Pisces A, as a result of a blind HI region survey.
