\n NASA has been forced to announce that it didn\u2019t create a 13th zodiac sign, the sign has always existed.<\/p>\n

The existence of Ophiuchus constellation \u2014 which dates back to the Babylonians more than 3,000 years ago \u2014 isn\u2019t exactly new but reemerged in recent news<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

That prompted NASA to resurface a 2016 post in response to accusations from stunned star-gazers that it\u2019s rewritten the rules of the zodiac.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere at NASA, we study astronomy, not astrology,\u201d the space agency said in a blog post. \u201cWe didn\u2019t change any zodiac signs, we just did the math.\u201d<\/p>\n

The zodiac is an area in space that encompasses Earth and its rotation around the sun over the course of a year. It also contains\u00a0the stars that make up the constellations of the zodiac.<\/p>\n

NASA explained that the Babylonians split the zodiac into 12 equal parts, picking one constellation for each month of its 12-year calendar.<\/p>\n

But there was one problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven according to the Babylonians\u2019 own ancient stories, there were 13 constellations in the zodiac,\u201d NASA explained. \u201cSo they picked one, Ophiuchus, to leave out. Even then, some of the chosen 12 didn\u2019t fit neatly into their assigned slice of the pie and crossed over into the next one.\u201d<\/p>\n

NASA said the sun spends different lengths of time lined up with each constellation and to \u201cmake a tidy match with their 12-month calendar\u201d the Babylonians nixed the Ophiuchus, the serpent-bearer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen they assigned each of those 12 constellations equal amounts of time,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we didn\u2019t change any zodiac signs\u2026we just did the math.\u201d<\/p>\n

The post slapp<\/a>ed down a hoax that\u2019s gained traction before, including in 2011, CNN noted.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
