Over recent days news that a new star sign has been discovered has been a source of heated debate, with most people finding that the star sign they'd grown up as, has suddenly changed, with the introduction of a new sign called Ophiuchus.

Ophiuchus squeezes in between Scorpio and Sagittarius, for people born between 29th November and 17th December, and according to Medium.com, "The main advantage of Ophiuchus is that they are very excited and smart people. They are information seekers and are also known for their attractive physical appearance.

The news of this 'new' star sign appears to come from a NASA blog written a number of years ago, where they explain how the star signs were decided, which is to do with the constellation that the Sun is in during a particular time of the year.

Since the news has resurfaced many people have been taking to Twitter, frustrated at the news, with one user saying, 'I am NOT ADAPTABLE. I AM A CANCER. WATCH ME CRY YOU TWO RIVERS NASA. I WILL NOT BE CALLED A GEMINI.' (sic)

Another said, 'As if 2020 couldn’t get anymore odd NASA discovered a new star sign which means I am now a Leo and not a Virgo'.

Others seemed to be happy with the change, with one tweeting, 'I’m super excited for my personality to change. In fact I feel like I can start my ‘proper’ life.', and another saying, 'I wasn’t a fan of my star sign - so happy to change it Face with tears of joy'.

If Astronomy is more your thing, then there is still time to view the NEOWISE comet, which is visible, low over the Northern horizon.

You can expect to see Comet NEOWISE in both the evening and morning sky. It is currently visible with the naked eye, however with a telescope or binoculars it has been described as a 'beautiful sight', according to Sky and Telescope.
