If a small needle traveling at the speed of light hit Jupiter, the destruction of the gas giant would probably ensue. Technically speaking, the needle cannot travel at the speed of light, as that would require infinite energy, but it can achieve a speed that is very close. When this object approaches speed of light, mass increases (relativistic mass).
Since mass increases infinitely at the speed of light, only something with zero mass can actually reach it. This means it does not matter how small (or large) the object is, it would have an infinite mass and therefore limitless kinetic energy. If this object with infinite kinetic energy, like a needle, were to strike any planet, it would literally be erased from existence in a burst of energy that would possibly even rival the Big Bang
