Jupiter is so visibly a disk, from Mars orbit? I had no idea.

Also, I notice you called Phobos the "innermost and largest" moon, not the "inner and larger." Are there still only the two, or have new moons been discovered? Don't mean to be hyper-picky about language, more that I know I could well have missed something.

No, I was exaggerating. There are only two known natural moons. If there are others they are tiny (a few meters across at most) or in very strange (horseshoe) orbits.
