Which galaxy are the planets on?
Planets orbit stars, stars orbit a galaxy. Planets are not "on" anything. A lot of stars out there have planets - we are just finding out how many now that we have better techniques to find them. So probably all galaxies have at least some stars with planets.

When did astronomists first start discovering the stars and planets?
The stars and three of the planets were discovered in about 27,000 BC by Professor Ughhh the Caveman when he happened to be out of his cave at nightfall. They are, after all, pretty obvious to anybody who looks up in the evening or before dawn. The ancient Babylonians and Egyptians were careful observers of the night sky, and by the time of the Greeks, had cataloged most of the brighter stars and the five "visible" planets. The earliest known star atlas was the Almagest of Claudius Ptolemy, a Roman citizen who lived in Alexandria, Egypt. (The Almagest refers to earlier catalogs which have not survived the intervening 2000 years.)
