It was the first planet discovered since ancient times. March 13, 1781. The 7th planet â Uranus â was discovered on this date, completely by accident. British astronomer William Herschel was performing a survey of all the stars that were of magnitude 8 â in other words, too faint to see with the eye â or brighter.ottom line: British astronomer William Herschel discovered the planet Uranus â first planet to be discovered since ancient times â on March 13, 1781.
Of the thousands of new exoplanets identified in the past few years, none has been quite like this oneâbecause it's still forming. Astronomers led by Stephanie Sallum at the University of Arizona and Katherine Follette at Stanford University have discovered the first planet still in the process of formation. The hatching planet is nestled between a massive ring of dust and gas and a young 2-million-year-old star named LkCa 15. That star is roughly 450 light years away from Earth and is similar in size to our Sun. While scientists previously had discovered other immature star systems like LkCa 15, where infantile planets are hypothesized to be growing, Sallum and Follette are the first to directly observe such a planet.
