The History: Neptune, was first seen by telescope in 1846 by German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle. Good old Galileo Galilea was the first person to have seen it in the 1600’s. We know that because he marked it as a star in one of his drawings. But since he did not identify it as a planet, he’s out of luck as the discoverer. I think he may be turning over in his grave about that mistake.
