  • Not only is Jupiter potentially responsible  for allowing Earth to form in the first place,  

  • but it also helps protect you now. See, in the  last decade alone, Jupiter has been hit by at  

  • least five comets or asteroids. In fact, recent  images from March 17 2016 show that Jupiter was  

  • hit by a small object, and these impacts are just  the ones that we've seen. Some scientists predict  

  • that these collisions probably happen once to  five times every month and if it wasn't for  

  • Jupiter's huge gravitational force deflecting  these objects away from Earth you humans may  

  • have been struck by them instead and honestly  as your friend I don't recommend that at all  

  • but there's also a theory that Jupiter might  steer space rocks our way possibly causing  

  • impact events man Jupiter I just don't know  anymore but we should still all be grateful  

  • that Jupiter exists I mean if it didn't you  probably wouldn't be here watching this video

Not only is Jupiter potentially responsible  for allowing Earth to form in the first place,
