Notes: Based on the passage in Jonathan Swift's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World in Four Parts ... by Lemuel
Gulliver (1726), in which reference is made to the discovery by Laputian astronomers of two moons orbiting Mars.
The two actual moons, Phobos an Deimos, were not actually discovered until 1877.
