Comment on if jupiter gained enough mass to trigger fusion and ignite into a star...
Apollo42@lemmy.world 4 months agoThe moons would almost certainly fall into Jupiter or be thrown from its orbit if itsuddenly gained enough mass to become a star.

I assumed in this scenario that orbits would be left unchanged aside from orbital velocity - if we can magic Jupiter much bigger, we can magic the orbits too :P

I mean if we’re talking magic now, then all bets are off haha

Not sure how else you would increase Jupiter’s mass that much :P

We feed it everything else in the system except for the sun and hope it is appeased for another cycle :)
