The Planets: Jupiter (S46E14)
S46E14
As a massive force in the early solar system, Jupiter acted like a cosmic wrecking ball, influencing the trajectory of various celestial bodies. Its immense gravity not only altered the course of comets, delivering essential water to Earth, but it may have also played a critical role in the arrival of the asteroid that ultimately led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Jupiter's power was pivotal in both the chaos of the cosmos and the nurturing of life on our planet.
