GLME Movie Recap

In 2010, a Spanish woman named Angeles Duran sparked global attention after claiming she had legally registered ownership of the Sun. She argued that while countries are banned from owning planets, there was no law stopping an individual from claiming the Sun—so she filed documents through a notary to back it up.

The story went viral as she insisted her claim was valid and even suggested she could start charging people for using sunlight. That idea quickly drew criticism and disbelief around the world.

In reality, international space laws don’t recognize private ownership of celestial bodies, so her claim had no real legal standing. Still, it remains one of the strangest legal controversies to ever go viral.🙄🤔
