JUPITER..Friend or Foe?

Homo in Training

“The notion that we live in a quiet, ordinary suburb of the galaxy was simple and comforting. But boy... were we wrong.” ― Michio Kaku.

*THIS IS A RE-EDITED RERELEASE OF SZN 1 EP 19*

We are baacckk with some more science sh*t for y’all!! One of J’s favorite planets, other than Earth is JUPITER! There are a million things we can say about the planet but we are only gonna be covering the relationship between Earth and Jupiter.

Jupiter had a BIG impact on the early formation of Earth and not just because Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system! Scientists have worked out models that show how many asteroids and comets Jupiter eats in a day and how many it’s throwing out of the solar system. This is what keeps Earth safe from these catastrophic dangers and allowed us to evolve into the complicated beings we are today.

Jupiter is also responsible for the asteroid belt and prevented the 4 inner terrestrial planets from getting bigger when they were first forming. This is all covered in the podcast along with basic Jupiter facts and talk about the recorded impact of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. To wrap it up, it wouldn’t be a Homo In Training Podcast if we didn’t talk about how special we are!!! Mostly because other planetary systems Kepler has observed, do not look like our solar system. Which makes us pretty unique!

If you wanna see Jupiter and Saturn in the sky, look up around 6:00pm and you will see two close bright stars parallel to each other, chasing the Sun. The brightest lower one is Jupiter and the one on top of it, is Saturn. Thank you all for listening every week because we enjoy making this content, and J especially loves bringing some science knowledge into your lives. Be kind, rewind and tell your friends about our PODCAST! We are cool and more people should listen, qué no?
