JUPITER ON A COLLISION COURSE

Observatories in Cape Cañaveral, Florida, USA, have noted how the Jupiter system (the massive gas giant, known for its Red Spot, and its over fifty moons, the largest of which, Ganymede, is way larger than Mercury) has begun moving into the Asteroid Belt and the massive gravity of Jupiter begins to absorb asteroids, left, right, and cenre.

Astronomer Uno de Abril predicts that, within five or six years, Jupiter will have left the Asteroid Belt and swallowed up Mars, with its two potato-like moons, and our Earth, with its single Moon. 

"We have very little time, our priority will be to settle other terraform planets in other star systems, in order to survive this cataclysm," Uno de Abril explains.

ZEUS & GANYMEDE, GIAN BATTISTA MARINO

 Non gli reca il Garzon giá mai da bere

che pria noi baci il Re che ’n Ciel comanda,
e trae da quel baciar maggior piacere
che da la sua dolcissima bevanda.
Talvolta a studio, e senza sete avere,
per ribaciarlo sol, da ber dimanda.
Poi gli urta il braccio, o in qualche cosa intoppa,
spande il licore o fa cader la coppa.

44.Quando torna a portar l’amato paggio
il calice d’umor stillante e greve,
rivolti in prima i cupid’occhi al raggio
de’ bei lumi ridenti, egli il riceve,
e col gusto leggier fattone un saggio,
il porge a lui, ma mentr’ei poscia il beve,
di man gliel toglie, e le reliquie estreme
cerca nel vaso, e beve, e bacia insieme.

ZEUS & GANYMEDE, GIAN BATTISTA MARINO (17TH CENTURY)

No sooner has the lad poured him a drink

than the Olympian king asks for a kiss,

and he relishes more those kisses than

the sweetest nectar on his lips and throat.

Sometimes just for a lark, not feeling dry,

just for a kiss, he calls the lad to pour,

snatches his arm, or trips with something up,

pours liquor on his garments, drops the cup...

When the beloved cupbearer returns

with the chalice whose liquid glitters bright,

his liege turns eager eyes first to the ray

of those laughing twin luminaries; then

the lad sips slightly, then his liege and king

takes the cup from his hands, and seeks love's blisses

extreme therein, as he both drinks and kisses.
