Description
English: Plot of the number of moons discovered in a year vs. the year number, up to 2019, using the discovery years given in wikipedia's list of natural satellites.
The first peak at 1980 was caused by Voyager 1; the second at 1986 caused by Voyager 2. The peaks in recent times is caused by improvements to ground- and Earth orbit-based optical telescopes. The drop off after 2007 is probably due to discoveries that have been announced with considerable delay (the 20 objects announced in 2019 were first observed in 2004).
