Sun in Ophiuchus was created by cobyrne

Here's one for your Astrology-believing friends.

"What constellation is the Sun currently in?".

The answer - Ophiuchus!

Of course, the sun is within the borders of Ophiuchus as defined by the International Astronomical Union in 1930. However, even Ptolemy (c 130-170 AD) recognised that the Sun at least travels through Ophiuchus.

If you are interested in learning more about the so-called "13th constellation of the Zodiac", check out this wikipedia article , for instance.
