Owner of the Sun

After billions of years the Sun finally has an owner. A woman from Spain's soggy region of Galicia says she's registered the star at a local notary public as being her property.
Angeles Duran, 49, took the step in September 2010 after reading about an American man who had registered himself as the owner of the moon and most planets in our Solar System.
There is an international agreement which states that no country may claim ownership of a planet or star, but it says nothing about individuals.
The document issued by the notary public declares Duran to be the "owner of the Sun, a star of spectral type G2, located in the centre of the solar system, located at an average distance from Earth of about 149,600,000 kilometres".
