Yes, it's discover, observe, find, when you weren't specifically searching for that item. I'm totally happy with that usage.

{tera' DIS 1930 tu' vay'}?
But is {tu'} even the right verb for "discover" in the sense of bringing to knowledge a thing which was previously unknown? Pluto obviously existed before, during, and after 1930. {Pluto tu'lu', tera'
DIS 1930 'e' luSovchoH tera'nganpu'}
