Christian
Science Monitor: In an interview with the
Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune,
Parke
Kunkle of the Minnesota Planetarium Society explained
something astronomers have known for millennia: that the Sun
doesn't actually rise and fall through the constellations on
the dates that your horoscope says that it does, and that it
actually passes through a 13th constellation, Ophiuchus, the
Snake Annoyer. Apparently, the interview rocked the
astrological world, leading some believers to worry that
they've been referring to themselves as the "wrong" sign for
years. Mark Sappenfield of the
Christian Science Monitor explains the science behind
the "celestial kerfuffle."
