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.
I think this is called the Heliocentric Theory and was first discovered by Copernicus.

Some of the newly discovered planets beyond Pluto include Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and Gonggong. These are classified as dwarf planets due to their size and orbit characteristics. There have been no new planets discovered in our solar system beyond Pluto that are not classified as dwarf planets.

Earth, then Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and Mars.
No. We know what the stars are. They are not planets. They are distant suns, many of which do have undiscovered planets.
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

NINE!!
I would imagine the first humans who walked the Earth. The planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn can all be seen with an unaided eye. They were, then, called Wandering Stars as they "seemed" to wander the skies unlike the "fixed" stars.
Two of them are the third of gas planets and the first discovered in modern times

There were 6 known planets, Uranus and Neptune weren't discovered yet.
Kepler discovered that the planets orbit the Sun in elliptical shapes, not in perfect circles as previously believed. This finding is summarized in Kepler's first law of planetary motion.
