Has anyone ever explained how the descriptions of the two moons of Mars got into the book Gullivers Travels, years and years before they were ‘dicovered’ by astronomers?

The two moons were discovered by one astronomer, an American--Asaph Hall--in 1877, in Washington, D.C., in what was later Dick Cheney's house.
How the author of "Gulliver's Travels" knew about the moons, I don't know, but he was pretty swift.
