When did Edwin Hubble discover Neptune?

Edwin Hubble did not discover Neptune. Galileo's drawings show that he first observed Neptune on December 28, 1612, and again on January 27, 1613. On both occasions, Galileo mistook Neptune for a fixed star when it appeared very close in conjunction to Jupiter in the night sky, hence, he is not credited with Neptune's discovery. Neptune was discovered due to the anomalies it caused i Uranus' orbit. There is a small dispute over who discovered Neptune. An international consensus emerged that two astronomers, Urbain Le Verrier and John Couch Adams, jointly deserved credit. See the link for more information. The law of Gravitation predicted the existence of planets beyond Uranus Observations in the orbit of Uranus led to the discovery of planet Neptune. It was discovered in the nineteenth century.
