Alternatvely: Eww, Earth, you're infested. Look at all those little things crawling all over you!
Reminds me of an old Daredevil comic:
Fuck you Jupiter, now I have to 9-6
I thought this was the Balatro community for a moment
Seriously tho, wouldn't be here without the big lad. Thanks Jupiter ❤️
Does jupiter stop asteroids for us?
No, arrows
Of course duh, I shoulda looked at the picture
It even domesticates some of the big ones
How else would you make asteroid cheese
Yea that's the prevailing theory. Because of Jupiter's size and position in our solar system it likely intercepts a lot of the nastiest asteroids that are big enough that an impact with earth would wipe out all life. It's also believed that if it were not for Jupiter life might not have been able to evolve on earth at all
it's a bit of a double edge sword though. jupiter also throws stuff at us as well. (https://www.planetary.org/articles/does-jupiter-protect-earth-from-asteroids-and-comets)
But isn't the asteroid belt there a belt and not a planet because of Jupiter? That sounds more like a racket to me
TIL, thanks jupiter!
No love for Saturn, though?
