Question: Have you discovered an asteriod by yourself?

Well, kind of. The important thing to remember though is that in modern science, everyone works in teams. So when we discover an asteroid, its thanks to everyone who has played a part.

So I’ve led teams, and been part of other teams, that have discovered thousands of asteroids. I even have one named after me!
