Astrologer sues Nasa for $300m

Moscow - A Russian astrologer took legal action against Nasa for

compensation on Monday, claiming that the United States space

agency's bombardment of the Tempel 1 comet would upset her horoscope

and violates her spiritual rights.

 

Marina Bai's law suit claimed that according to Russian press

reports, the experiment, in which Nasa fired a projectile the size

of a fridge at the comet on Monday, was an attack on " the holy of

holies " .

 

Her suit, filed at a Moscow court, claimed violation of her " life

and spiritual values. "

 

The Izvestia daily quoted Bai as saying: " In any case, it is obvious

that elements of the comet's orbit and associated ephemera will

change after the explosion, which interferes with my practice of

astrology and deforms my horoscope. "

 

Bai was demanding $300m, compensation.

 

Her lawyer, Alexander Molokhov, said that the case was based on

solid legal ground, since Nasa had a representative office on

Russian territory.

 

Bai originally attempted to have a court prevent the experiment from

taking place, but her suit was rejected.

 

After a higher city court intervened, the court agreed to hear the

case - though too late to protect Tempel 1.

 

The NASA probe rammed into the comet, which lied 133 million km from

Earth, early on Monday as part of an experiment that scientists hope

would help reveal how the universe was formed.
