A discovery is recognizing something that already exists for the first time, that nobody has found before, e.g. how Christopher Columbus discoveredthe Americas. An invention is creating something totally new with one's own ideas and development. ... e.g. how Thomas Edison invented the light bulb.

Discovery is intrinsically  finding of something meaningful that wasn't of knowledge before. For ex. an earth-like plannet within the habitable zone from the star was recently discovered namely Kepler-452b. That's a discovery. It's a finding of something that already exists. 
On the other hand, invention is creating something original and advanced typically a process or a device. It can also loosely be called innovation. Steam engine was a product of invention. So were battery, radio etc.
Innovation is similar to invention but  it mainly refers to ideas, and new way of thinking that may lead to new inventions.
