Blow up or ignite Jupiter, creating a miniature sun, the moons become new planets. Ever since reading this idea in A.C.Clark's 2010, I have wondered if this was possible. Could gas giants be ignited? If it were possible, would the moons become new planets? Any weird thoughts about how a planetary change like that might effect a solar system's space ecology? (I'm reasonably sure would be a space ecology we don't recognize, yet.)
Thank you. Yours, I am Curious Yellow Sun _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
