Jupiter, largely gaseous since its formation, remains a brilliant secondary sun in the solar system. [1] Jupiter might capture outer planets, becoming a sun and forming a double star system. [2] A moon of Jupiter is nearing tidal disruption, like shooting stars and Saturn's rings which are fragments of disrupted bodies. [3]
Jupiter and Saturn, derived from highly heated sun material, shone as secondary suns after forming from the central portions of a massive extrusion of matter disgorgued from the sun. [4] Jupiter's powerful gravity pull early captured most of the material stolen from Angona, evident in the retrograde motion of certain satellites. [5]
Jupiter and Saturn were, for a short period after formation, secondary suns, emitting brilliant light and enormous heat as they retained highly heated sun material within their gaseous composition. [6]
