Why yes indeed, we've once again been saved by Jupiter, because should
that item of perhaps nearly the size of our moon had encountered Earth
instead, we'd all be quite dead by now.

The Sirius Oort cloud offering at least a thousand fold greater mass
than our Oort cloud has to work with, is currently arriving at gates
01 through 666, and it'll be unavoidably interacting with our Oort
cloud, plus sharing a few items with NEO potential of less than 1r,
that should brighten up future days and nights for thousands of years
to come as Sirius passes to within a light year of us.

A gas giant like Jupiter tends to envelope and sequester or blanket
whatever it encounters before the item explodes into creating its
enormous photon output, that which only a very small percentage of its
demise is detected by us. Unlike Earth whereas the extremely thin
atmosphere allows for an extremely bright display of a falling star or
rather that of an asteroid encounter to show up at essentially full
brightness potential as viewed from the surface and especially as
viewed from LEO or further away.

Whatever encountered Jupiter was perhaps worth at least 1000 km
diameter to begin with.
