     Perhaps I don't understand the full ramifications of Jupiter's becoming
a star, but I can't see it having much of an effect on Earth (catrastrophically
speaking that is). It seems to me that it would be a very small, cool star
(Otherwise, how could life be supported on its former moons?) The energy from
it that would reach earth wouldn't be all that tremendous, so why would the
earth have to be protected?
