Random thought

I was just thinking that Jupiter is slowly turning into a star because material is falling into it and increasing its mass. The problem is that it has run out of material so the process has slowed down. Perhaps one day when the Sun has died and faded into a white dwarf, Jupiter will encounter a small cloud of material and gain enough mass to turn into a red Dwarf star.

It has a long way to go through, perhaps it must gain 10 times it's current mass to start shining.
