Before moons were discovered orbiting Jupiter it was thought that all objects orbited the Earth, thus making the Earth the center of the universe, and therefore 'special'. When it was discovered that Jupiter had moons, that meant that celestial bodies were orbiting one another. This shattered the geocentric, (earth-centered), view of the cosmos.
Another way of saying this is that God created man in his image, man rules the Earth, therefore man is the best, and the whole universe is beholding to man. The moons of Jupiter ruined that view. For thousands of years man has been overflowing with pride, and just can't handle that it's not all about 'man'. Well, guess what bub, you are just, as Carl Sagan puts it "a speck of dust floating on a sunbeam".

Can Jupiter explode?
Jupiter cannot technically explode in the same way as a nuclear bomb, but it could potentially experience a cataclysmic event like a collision with a large asteroid or comet. This could cause a massive release of energy and result in a significant disruption to the planet, but it wouldn't be an explosion in the conventional sense.
