approached

In English, the verb approach is transitive, meaning it takes a direct object without a preposition. Turkish speakers often add "to" because the Turkish equivalent (yaklaşmak) takes the dative case, but "approached to the planet" is incorrect in English.

discussed

Similarly, discuss means "to talk about," so adding "about" after it creates a redundancy. You discuss something, not discuss about something!
