Quite Possibly My Worst Joke
More astronomy? Ok, but
only because you insisted.
[Jupiter] reflects solar activity, scientists have learned. And when Jupiter is on the other side of the solar system, it can act as a mirror for flare-ups from the back side of the Sun.
So basically the galaxy is just a giant game of Pong.
"We found that Jupiter's day-to-day disk X-rays were synchronized with the Sun's emissions,"
Well after working together for 4.5 billion years or so, it's no surprise that their emissions have synchronized.
