What I ask myself if it is possible to get a good climate on titan. Since you are also getting times in which the planet is only covered by the shadow of jupiter.

Thanks for listing the moons, but I think I can find these almost everytime on wikipedia.
Overall it's also sort of factual based knowledge, which I think is not so important and interesting.  What's more interesting are imo the systems and the differences between them. It's more important to know the difference between Titan and Europa and that both moons have the possibility to develope/harbour conditions for life. It's sort of like knowing the cultural difference between a Chinese and a Japanese, instead of just knowing that one is from Japan and the other one from China, since it's the culture giving these two persons an identity and not the name of their country.
