DescriptionMoons vs time.gif |
English: Plot of the number of moons discovered in a year vs. the year number, up to 2008, using the discovery years at [1]. The first peak at 1980 was caused by Voyager 1; the second at 1986 caused by Voyager 2. The peak in recent times is caused by improvements to ground- and Earth orbit-based optical telescopes. The drop off in recent years is probably due to discoveries that have been made but not yet announced. |
