On Jupiter - Destroyer of Comets

Subscribe to Naked Science - goo.gl/wpc2Q1
Every other Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare...
The most amazing thing about Jupiter for us Earthlings is that there is no place to stand. We see nothing but clouds and hurricanes the size of Earth, we don’t see the ground because there is no ground.
For five billion years an icy juggernaut had roamed the backstreets of the Solar System flaring only as it swept close to the heat of the sun. But Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 hadn’t reckoned on the mighty power of the planet Jupiter. Jupiter, the king of the planets, destroyer of comets.
The broken fragments of Shoemaker-Levy 9 were big enough to remodel life on Earth. Each was being sucked in by the largest planet in the Solar System, each of their fiery descents was another chance to find out what it’s really like on Jupiter.
The impact of SL9 highlighted Jupiter's role as a "cosmic vacuum cleaner" for the inner Solar System. The planet's strong gravitational influence leads to many comets and asteroids colliding with the planet. If Jupiter were not present, the probability of asteroid impacts with the Solar System's inner planets would be much greater.
For millennia the bright beacon of Jupiter has caught the human gaze as it has travelled the heavens, but we had to wait for the invention of the telescope and a renaissance Italian for the planet to begin giving up its secrets. On the night of 7th January 1610 Galileo Galilei made a discovery that was to challenge Earth’s claim to sovereignty of the solar system.
Jupiter’s dominance of the Solar System is complete, 1,300 times the size of Earth, it’s a world so enormous it could swallow every planet and moon in the solar system an still have room to spare. Looking back from Jupiter the Earth is a feeble speck circling a faint and distant sun
Documentary narrated by John Hurt.

Or, like one little German dude with a square mustache loved to say "Gott mit uns" ("God with us") while slaughtering Russians and Jews by the millions. Considering that god let him do it, then god was indeed with him on that. Although, I'd rather there not be any god than a god like this.

    What I don't get is how that it supposedly has no solid ground, yet it's been pulling in comets as long as its existence. Wouldn't all of the solid materials consolidate from gravity into a rocky surface after all of this time? I'm not a scientist, so it's probably just my weak understanding.

    I remember the week of July 16 to 23 1994 very well, within minutes of the first strike there was a surprisingly large dark impact scar unmistakably visible. It was visible through small telescopes, even the cheap Wal-Mart type telescopes. The scars remained visible for months before they dispersed and faded away. A good thing this comet struck Jupiter and not us, had we been the target, ShoemakerLevy9 would have wiped out civilization and probably all humans too.

    Jupiter’s upper atmosphere is about 90% hydrogen and 10% helium by volume. Since helium atoms are more massive than hydrogen ones, Jupiter’s atmosphere is approximately 75% hydrogen and 24% helium by mass with remaining one percent consisting of other unique elements. Jupiter is perpetually covered with clouds composed of ammonia crystals and possibly ammonium hydrosulfide.

    A star requires an absolute minimum of 79 Jupiter masses in order for hydrogen to fuse into helium and make the star shine. That tiny star would be a dense, but cool and dim red dwarf with most of its light in the infrared spectrum. At Jupiter's distance from Earth, we'd get very little light from it if it were a red dwarf star.

    It’s 2017 and it could be the year of the asteroids because once again, for the forth time this year, an asteroid, this time named 2017 BS32 has gone by Earth. On February 2, 2017, 2017 BS32 narrowly shaved our planet with very little time to prepare. This once again brings out the big worry about the asteroids that we don’t catch on our screens. It is almost certain that in the future an asteroid, perhaps the size of New York City, will smash into our planet. When will it happen, well, we do not know, but wouldn’t it be nice if we at least had a chance of spotting it heading in our direction. it returns closer in 2029, and a potential impact 2036 and 2068, impact is not definite but it is so close it could hit your gps satellites , i have several very viable ideas on how to prevent this, a craft rendezvous with it with drilling rig and big hoover bag, bits are drilled off and stored in bag, when full it is shot on ahead and exploded creating a dust cloud that slows the thing down and thus alters its orbit, and if given enough time it only needs slight orbital change no harder than the stuff that they do to send probes to the planets already , or coat it in chalk one side coal dust the other and let solar heating shift it slowly . the key is advanced warning really, size is not so much a problem, but the last thing we should do is nuke it, we then have many rocks to track!, stay safe asteroidapophis.com/asteroid-2017-bs32/

    I'm curious. I'm always hearing how Jupiter massive gravitational effect keeps the inner solar system protected from comets, asteroids etc. But couldn't also be that Jupiter also attracts comets into the system? Not all that are attracted will hit Jupiter. Depending on distance and timing and other factors isn't it just as likely that objects that would otherwise pass get turned into our solar system by Jupiter?
