Virgiliu Pop (born in 1974) is a Romanian space lawyer and author. He has claimed ownership of the Sun in order to make a point about extraterrestrial property rights claims that he argues are bogus.[4] He has asserted that the Moon is a "commons", but also predicts that this status wouldn't last if lunar exploitation were to become practical.[5][6]

He works for the Romanian Space Agency and is publicly active in promoting space efforts in Romania.[7]
