It had been traveling thru space for thousands, perhaps millions of years. before it entered our solar system it began to heat up, expanding rapidly into the gas giant it had once been; to over 70 times the mass of jupiter. Our garden planet was lucky to be on the opposite side of the sun when it began to pass thru the orbital plane most of the planets and asteroids of our system
share. Jupiters luck though, was about to run out. In less that 2 weeks these 2 massive celestial bodies would collide.


far fetched yes, but still an intresting way to go about it.
