There is no exact date of discovery. Jupiter is visible to the naked eye and has been known since before the dawn of civilization.
Mercury will appear at duck in the Southern Hemisphere during late August 2014. The Northern Hemisphere would not have been able to see the planet at the beginning of the month because it was too close to the Sun to observe.
How often is Jupiter visible in the nighttime sky
The five most visible planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) can often be seen at different times of the year depending on their positions in their orbits. However, there are times when some or all of these planets are visible together in the predawn or post sunset sky. Consulting a stargazing app or website can help you identify when and where to look for them in the night sky.
Saturn has three main rings. You need a telescope, but they are visible in a small telescope.

The only visible planet is Jupiter, in the southeast. This month, Jupiter rises about at sunset, and is up all night. It's the brightest thing in the sky, until Venus rises.Venus and Mars will be visible in the east before dawn. Mercury and Saturn are too close to the Sun to be visible at all.
It's complicated... If (say) Venus is visible in a certain month, that doesn't mean it will be visible the next year in the same month - since the movements of the other planets are not synchronized with Earth's movement.
Mercury will appear at duck in the Southern Hemisphere during late August 2014. The Northern Hemisphere would not have been able to see the planet at the beginning of the month because it was too close to the Sun to observe.

Nothing. Jupiter has no visible surface, so why bother packing my bags?
