1:11Now PlayingIn the 1940s, astronomer Fred Whipple analyzed photos of 14 meteors in the Taurid stream.
By reversing their orbits, he found they all converged to a single cosmic object 5,000 years ago. That ancient giant broke apart… scattering fragments that still cross Earth’s path today.
And when astronomers ran the orbits forward? They saw the stream intersecting Jupiter itself — right as Jupiter arrived.
The result? A chain of impacts written across the solar system.
