Scientific paper

Consideration is given to the possibility of turning Jupiter into an artificial star by seeding it with a primordial black hole so that Eddington limited accretion onto the hole would produce energy sufficient to create effective temperatures on Europa and Ganymede that would be similar to the values on earth and Mars, respectively. It is suggested that the feasibility of this scenario depends on the prevalence of primordial black holes and the efficiency of conversion of rest mass to energy for black hole accretion from a dense medium. A scenario for the 'stellification' of Jupiter is proposed.
