I agree with the above comments but there is something missing here. It is fairly obvious so perhaps that's why there have been no comments this far.
This song uses metaphor to illustrate the fleeting nature of one's first sexual encounter. It also suggests that the fantasy of sex is better than the reality (much the same way as in the astronomical observance). Notice the lyric "Is that it?"
There is the expectation that the encounter will be an "event" and it turns out to be brief and unfulfilling. The girl isn't really interested in the celestial bodies but HIS body. As it turns out the event didn't meet to her satisfaction - too short.
Both the crashing of the solar system bodies and the crashing of these human bodies aren't as spectacular as the girl had hoped.
At the end she left him and like Jupiter there is hardly any trace (at least from the narrator's earthly perspective). Merely "a few bruises.." In other words, some physical reminder that will soon fade. Nothing lasting transpired in either of the physical crashes.
