Lightbulb Jupiter- The case study

Gas Giants Gobbled Up Most of Their Moons
More moons for this planet!

Even though our Solar System’s gas giants vary widely in size and mass, they do have something in common. Each planet is roughly 10,000 times more massive than the combined mass of all their moons. During planetary formation, rocky moons grew out of the solid material surrounding each planet. As these moons grew larger, leftover gas slowed them down, and they fell into the planet to be consumed. The moons we see today were the last ones to form around their parent planets, after the gas had dissipated.

I trying to think about this planet Jupiter, it having too many babies, more moons. I think some of those moons might be like planets. In natural study, astronomers have looked on this planet to search life and extinctions. I always look and think about Jupiter and i wonder why this planet is giving more moons. This thing is like the movie 2010 (i can't remember the rest of the name). Which that astronomers found life and Jupiter swelled up and exploded and turned into the star.

So i think this would happen or not, Jupiter is the main planet and and it have alot of main characters in finding life and growth of thousand of moons!
