Terry,

I read somewhere that Jupiter is so close to being a Sun it's not funny! It has the mass & size. It is larger than some stars we can observe!!

And the article went on to say that a cataclismic happening could turn it into a star, and is not out of the question at any time in the future.

That'll make toast out of us
