You could see Neptune from Earth with a telescope if you knew exactly where to look.
you can see neptune with binoculars, but you won't see anything but a small dot [:
Neptune was discovered using a telescope.Uranus was discovered with the naked eye, but because of it's slow rotation it was believed to be a star. Only with a telescope was it identified as a planet.
Neptune is visible (using a good telescope) in the evening sky from all over Earth at the moment (December 2008) If you go out in the evening there will be two very bright objects above the south western (from the norther hemisphere) horizon. The lower one is Jupiter and the higher one (and brightest) is Venus. If you join the two up with an line and keep going upwards and towards the south you enter the constellation Capricornus. Neptune is at present in the tail area of Capricorn.
The planet Neptune was discovered by using a large telescope, in 1846. That was 167 years ago. Galileo, using a small telescope, discovered the first 4 moons of Jupiter in 1610. That was 403 years ago. (Since then, 63 more have been discovered.)

Using either a telescope or a submarine.
Neptune has 13 moons and 5-6 rings. The highest winds in the Solar System are on Neptune. It was discovered using mathematics to predict where it should be. Only Uranus and Neptune have been "discovered" the rest are easy to see in the sky. You can actually see Uranus without a telescope if you know where to look and have good viewing conditions. A lot of people don't know that Neptune is the only planet that can't be seen without a telescope.

Neptune was not discovered by a satellite, it was discovered 23 September 1846 by Johann Galle using a telescope, within a degree of the position predicted by Urbain Le Verrier using calculations.

The moons of Jupiter and Saturn, the planets of Neptune and Uranus, the millions of rocks in the Asteroid belt.

Saturn is the last planet that can be seen without using a telescope or binoculars and the planet was known in the ancient world before telescopes were invented. The rings, however, can only be seen using a telescope.
Yes. Venus is one of the brightest objects in the night sky, second only to the moon, and can easily be seen without a telescope. Using a telescope will not reveal much detail, as the surface of Venus is masked by dense clouds.
Yes, you can see it without one also. To the naked eye, it looks like a fairly bright star. Using a telescope will allow you to see its ring system though.
