No. He discovered great moons, which, had they not been orbiting planets might have been considered planets themselves, but the first new planet since antiquity was Uranus, discovered by Sir William Herschel.
The surprising thing to me is how MANY extra-solar planets have been discovered. Considering the limitations of the Kepler Space Telescope's design, this indicates that there may be planets around a majority of the stars.

they were discovered millions and millions of centuries ago and no use of thinking about it now,instead we can try to discover many other planets at present
Many of the planets discovered in the past few years have designations such as Kepler-22b because they were discovered using the Kepler space telescope.
