  1. I thought Saturn was the one that ate his children? Including jupiter, but with the help of Rhea spit him back out again. After that Jupiter grew to be greater than Saturn. Wouldn't it be weird if the legends were true?

  2. OK, so Jupiter would have to be 13 times more massive to become a brown dwarf, and 85 times more massive to become a main sequence star, if I understood my quick Google search results. Could there exist an unstable point on the range of masses between planetary and stellar? If it achieves stellar mass, it evolves to be more massive by some mechanism, and if it doesn't achieve stellar mass, it evolves to become smaller (or harder to detect by the approaches we're using?)
