Jupiter excitedly pointing out this news to Juno

*"Newly identified moons" I'm pretty sure they've been there for a while.

Having 128 new moons would really be noteworthy!

Perhaps when they become fully operational battle stations?

This is a great question. It's like asking when a rock is too small to be a planet. I suspect there were be a definition eventually that mirrors the planetary definition -- something like "spherical(ish) and clears its orbit". The issue is that Mars would lose its two moons under that definition.

So we might end up with something like "moons" vs "natural satellites" and Mars will just have to suck it up.
