Mars. The Italian astronomer Schiaperelli thought he could see "canali" (channels, not actually canals) on the planet's surface. Percival Lowell also "saw" them, and wrote an extensive book on what Mars was probably like because of the "canals". It was determined years later, and proven by the Mars orbiters and landers, that the "canals" were an optical illusion to earth-bound viewers. They don't exist.
