What is Jules Verne known for?

Verne predicted the second moon of Neptune, not confirmed until l949! He also posited a secondary moon for earth and has this natural satelolite play a role in one of his moon novels. (there is not such moonlet!) It is a good thing that his works are currently seeing a cinematic revival (Journey to the center of the Earth) One week area was life forms- in his (Outside) sci-fi. He did not get into any discussion of extra-terrestrial life forms, either animal-like or intelligent leaving this work to later authors. the idea of an extraterrestial animal with external spines acting as a sort of heat-exchanger was discussed by pioneer science fiction writers, as was the popular idea of Giant Insects, Praying Mantises the size of cranes, for example./ Verne did not get into this.-By accident some other writers of his era did get into (Exo-zoology) and somehow he gets indirect credit. anyhow Jules Verne is the Grand Old Man of science fiction.
