Number of asteroids discovered per year (a beautiful plot by @VRubinObs's Lynne Jones). The explosion of digital cameras and sky surveys led to a peak of ~70k discoveries in 2005; rates have been declining since (excepting NEOs). Rubin's first year will yield 1 to 2M.

@mjuric @DJSnM @VRubinObs WOW Beautiful! Thanks for the info, How brilliant might the picture be if an array of cameras/IR sensors etc is placed across the full moon surface (in the dark zone)? Micro Landers spread out like a bee's eye matrix? My initial magazine nation thinks that would yield results
