Fortune tellers didn't see this one coming! NASA fixed the astrological signs.

NASA fixed the zodiac signs...

Thanks Babylonians!

But even according to the Babylonians' own ancient stories, there were 13 constellations in the zodiac. (Other cultures and traditions have recognized as many as 24 constellations in the zodiac.) So the Babylonians picked one, Ophiuchus, to leave out. Even then, some of the chosen 12 didn't fit neatly into their assigned slice of the pie and slopped over into the next one.

Exactly. No way am I a Virgo now. F that.

 

[Hail The Brain Slug]

Well now I was born under Ophiuchus, according to the update.

I don't really give a crap.

this is clearly a prospective change, we have been grandfathered into our respective astrologic signs.

I thought I felt a shuddering change to my personality; now I know why. I'm now an Aquarius, though right on the cusp of Pisces. I feel so conflicted now.

sigh.... from Leo to Cancer..... what to do, what to do.... I know.

Hey NASA, quit fucking around with this shit and design a new goddamn space shuttle or launch more probes. This shit isn't helping me feel like you should get funding back.... I want more space exploration. Or deep sea exploration. Just not this bullshit.

Once a Capricorn...ALWAYS a Capricorn.

True. Astrology is cheaper and produces useful results. What has astronomy done for me lately?

You noticed that was a simple educational page for kids, right? It probably took them an hour to put that together.

I take that back. Ophiuchus looks badass.

Sorry, 11/11...I'm a skorpio, not a Labia...err I mean Libra

 

[sactoking]

Ummm... NASA didn't "fix" anything. NASA has no say over what is or is not in the zodiac. There is no "new" thirteenth symbol, Ophiuchus has always existed but it was ignored because the stars were too dim. The article correctly discusses the fact that the technical interpretation of the zodiac changes over time due to axial wobble. The rest is FUD not even contained in the blurb.

Did you... did you just say an article about astrological signs is just FUD?

Don't you dare try to charm my snake.

 

[John Connor]

First it's Pluto and now the Constellations? The hell I'm a Virgo, I'm a Libra for life! Fuck Non-sense NASA.

Next thing you know Non-sense NASA will try to change the Chinese zodiac. Monkey for life!
