In the 17th century, the planets Uranus and Neptune were discovered. Uranus was discovered by Sir William Herschel in 1781, while Neptune was identified in 1846 through mathematical predictions rather than direct observation. Although both were discovered after the early 17th century, the telescope's invention in that period allowed for advancements in astronomical observations leading to their eventual discovery.
