It's amazing how well Jupiter protects the inner solar system. Made with Universe Sandbox 2. #space

I know the dinosaurs are mad af Jupiter took a day off 65M years ago.

This is just *one* of the many things that needs to be in existence in order for one planet to have life. Thx Jupiter

[gtwildin]

Dinosaurs: bro wtf
Jupiter: yeah sorry that was my bad

[stanleydembowski]

Why is Saturn acting like she's too good for the rest of us again

FYI: Those clusters of asteroids are sitting in Jupiter's L4 and L5 Lagrange points (basically, stable regions caused by the gravitational fields of the Sun and Jupiter).

For some reason I found this incredibly moving.

[victorricardo]

The whole thing is amazing. The fact we exist is unbelievable

[GodzillaInHellforbeingHIM]

Jupiter is that one older brother that bullies you but will never let you be bullied

[thelonewrangler]

Not enough people care to know how fragile our spectacular existence really is

[kovi]

I feel like earth should hold a Jupiter day celebration. The amount of untold times the gas giant has saved the the inner planets from impacts is awe inspiring. A wonderful protector offering a safe refuge in the chaos of space

[TrayvonFeilds]

jupiter is the big brother that’s overprotective of his siblings 😂❤️

This is actually a huge reason why our solar system might be the only one to contain life. For 'life' to be naturally born into existence from nothing, without sentient assistance, It requires all the right conditions like weather, temperature, required building blocks ect. ect. to all come together at the same time.

And thats if all the ingredients even exist in close enough proximity to eachother to come togather in the the first place. So things moving around in the galaxy and within planets only by gravity, wind and explosions and stuff.

And then even when they are, to come together in the right amounts, at the same time, it takes a combination of unfathomable amounts of luck and well... time, for just the right chemical reaction to occur. And once the 1st single cell organism pops into existence and then more to follow, it requires another unfathomable amount of luck and time for the life to begin evolving to be abundant and resilient enough to be able and exsist, even after the most devastating events occur like a massive meteor impact or equivalent.

Well this essentional undisturbed "Time" we've had is a gift from Jupiter, which usual keeps big rocks that the Sun is pulling on from enterting the inner solar system and potentially hitting Earth.

Even if everything mentioned happens in other places. Theres still one more factor that allowed all this to all take place here and couldnt anywhere else.

Normally planets are positioned in an order going from most to least massive. Which most certainly is not the case here. I believe it still perplexs even the brightest minds on how this current order has occurred.

So for a rocky planet to be placed directly into a goldy locks zone, then colliding with another mars sized planet, creating the unnatural sizes of both our core and our moon which both have huge jobs in maintaining our favorable weather, seasons, and uniquely strong magnetic field. None of which are things that could exist without the specific events thay happend here. Combined with everything mentioned

Only made possible by Jupiter being where it shouldn't be....

Now dont get me started on how virtually impossible your existence was right up until the exact moment that you came into existence.... Lets just say you shouldnt be concious and reading this, but are.

Goodnight!

It's the gravity of the situation.

[ConstantineTheGreatXP]

Everybody talking about Jupiter and dinosaurs, and my bro Saturn just doing his thang at the back

[roadkillavenger]

If Jupiter hadn't been born, I probably wouldn't be unemployed right now

[Outlaw-]

Shoutout to Jupiter, bro a homie fr fr.

[leklek]

Saturn: I GOT 142 MOONS
Meanwhile The astroid belt following Jupiter
Jupiter: I GOT A MILLION MOONS
Saturn: bruh

[powerinknowledge]

This is both amazing yet terrifying like we really on the edge of total destruction being saved by Jupiter

[_unknown._.entity_]

Mercury be like: I'm fast asf boi

[LaSignor]

Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars looks like little children in the park and Jupiter out there is like the older fella watching them kids play.
