3) President Barack Obama’s personal ‘stay woke’ warning: “Stay Scared.”

“It is the nature of democracy that until those votes are cast and the American people have their say, we don’t know.” / “I think anybody who goes into campaigns not running scared can end up losing.” / “So, my advice to Democrats — and I don’t have to give this advice to Hillary Clinton, because she already knows it — is you stay worried until all those those votes are cast and counted because you know, one of the dangers in an election like this is that people don’t take the challenge seriously. They stay home. And we end up getting the unexpected.”

Jupiter and the sun4) In astronomy, all planets orbit the sun.

As per science the sun is a “star”-not a moon or a planet.

In astrology, the sun rules constellation “Leo”: “the superstar” of the zodiac who, like “fans” to a star, all planets orbit around in order to get some of its heat, life-giving energy sources. That is—all planets except Jupiter.

New science suggests we toss that notion (now that we’ve completed the Jupiter mission close up). Scientists are now saying that unlike the other 8 planets, Jupiter does NOT orbit the sun because it is far too big and massive! Story here
