skotosa Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 A woman in Spain has claimed that she is the owner of the sun after she got it registered as her property. She now plans to charge people who benefit from the sun's energy, it was reported here. Fortynine-year-old Angeles Duran, a resident of Vigo in Spain's northwestern region of Galicia, applied for ownership of the sun after she learnt that similar claims had been made by a US national on the Moon, Mars and Venus, the Daily Telegraph reported. The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 prevents any government from staking claim over celestial bodies, but it doesn't extend to private individuals and she was backed by her notary after consulting legal institutions in the country. Duran was issued with a document that declares she is 'the owner of the Sun, a star of spectral type G2, located in the centre of the solar system, at an averaged distance from Earth of around 149,600,000 kilometres'. 'I know the law and backed my claim legally,' she was quoted as saying. 'I did it but anyone else could have done it, it simply occurred to me first,' she added. Duran said that she plans to profit from her property and wants to charge those who derive a benefit from the sun's energy. She claimed that she had met representatives from Spain's industry ministry to discuss levying a fee on photovoltaic plants for converting the sun's energy into electricity. The woman said: 'When you have a property, it makes sense to make use of it. Power companies profit from the rivers which belong to everyone so I hope to take advantage of the sun.' According to her plan, half of the proceeds will go to the government, 20 percent to the country's pension fund, 10 percent to help end world hunger and 10 percent on research. The last 10 percent of the earnings from the Sun will be kept for herself. She said: 'It is time to start doing things the right way, if there is an idea for how to generate income and improve the economy and people's wellbeing, then why not do it?'

We (my husband and I) have 1 (one) M-class star in middle of its lifecycle; I have not made any transaction with my star barring normal solar wind and flares since its creation, because of my illness and the doctor said I have few months to live. Right now I want to give you the said star for you to help the colder people in your country and for your own personal use (solar power, growing vegetation, sunbathing etc). You have to contact NASA now for the transfer of the funds to your personal account with this information below; Contact Person: Dr. Wilson Cole Email Address: dr.wilson.cole_at_NASA@gmail.com Phone:+447024020945 Fax: +4472 111 5980 I also want to let you know that I have prepared the change of ownership affidavit, power of attorney and the insurance bond, so please, do not pay for any of this documents I just mentioned, you will be given the said documents as soon as you contact the bank with the below information. Full Names: Postal address; Direct telephone number; Age: Occupation: Gender: When contacting them, also include this code number: (SOL/space/WATMM), you are to also present it to them for verification. the only money you are expected to pay is the account activation fee, i have not used the star for a long time, so the Bank might ask you to pay for the account activation. I know all this may sound surprising to you, I do not know you, but I want to trust you will use this star to help the less privilege and cold and for your own personal use, please if you know you cannot be able to carry out this transaction, discard this email.
