A post on Air New Zealand's Grabaseat Facebook page has captured the attention of many, but not for the intended reason.<\/p>\n
The post shows a chart with what are apparently new dates for the zodiac family of star signs, after - as the post claims - NASA added a new star sign to the family.<\/p>\n
Ophiuchus, the 'new' sign of the zodiac, was recognised as a constellation by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1930.<\/p>\n
The Grabaseat post says as a result of Ophiuchus' arrival, dates of the traditional star signs have changed.<\/p>\n
NASA recently tweeted it had heard reports of a new star sign, and set to set the record straight.<\/p>\n
\"No, we did not change the zodiac. When the Babylonians invented the constellations 3000 years ago, they chose to leave out a 13th sign.\"<\/p>\n
