No, this was not a HST discovery. The 5 rings were discovered first in 1968 (through occultation data, no pix). The first photos were made by the spacecraft Voyager 2 in 1989 (before the launch of the HST in 1990).
It is top classified information that only the government and the NASA association can now about it
Voyager 2 discovered new moons and rings around Neptune in 1989, including seven new moons and four partial rings. These discoveries expanded our understanding of Neptune's satellite system and its surrounding ring structure.
Yes Neptune rings are not invisible though just harder to see because Neptune does not have many rings.
Neptune has 13 known moons and a ring system with 5 principal rings, which were discovered in 1989 by the Voyager 2 space probe. (see related question)

They are not. Older texts and teachers still state that the rings of Neptune were incomplete, however, since the Voyager flyby, it was discovered that although they were fragmented, they were complete.

Neptune has three main rings but all in all it has four total rings. I cannot make up the names right now but I do know that they are named after the scientists who discovered them.

Uranus has eleven faint rings. These rings were discovered in 1977 by James L. Elliot, Edward W. Dunham, and Douglas J. Mink.
In addition to 27 known moons, Uranus has 13 rings, the outer two discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope from 2003-2005.The 13 inner moons of Uranus are intimately involved with the ring system. The moon Mab seems to be the source of the 12th (second to outermost) ring.
