Interesting. Perhaps there is some starlike reaction going on inside.

Have thought for some time that Saturn would have become a star had it increased it's mass a few times over (maybe absorbing Jupiter). Binary star systems are fairly common out there.

Gas giants may be considered "failed stars." They're not large enough for the hydrogen in their atmospheres to ignite and burn in a chain nuclear reaction. If the sun dies one day, humanity may find a way to combine the gas giants in our solar system to give birth to a new sun.
