New Signs for Heavenly Objects Created

The Scottish Sensory Centre in cooperation with the Royal Observatory have created many new signs in British Sign Language for various planets and other astronomy related terms.

Here's the sign for supernova.  The similarity is uncanny.

Surprisingly, up until now, there were no signs for anything in space other than Earth and Sun, meaning that other planets or stars had to be spelled letter by letter.  This is a big step in the right direction, as the field of astronomy has long discriminated against mutes/deafs, what with their lack of means to communicate.  These new signs will help these forgotten souls finally rise up against the oppression.  Though if they do, they will find that they will be limited to the astronomy of our solar system.  The article reports that only 90 signs have been created, whereas there are billions of stars in the universe, meaning that at most only a few other stars have signs for them.  This is quite a big problem, since these mute/deaf astronomers will not be able to easily communicate about obscure stars with names like J05552+0724AP or PSR B1620-26.  Another problem is that these words only work in British Sign Language, which I'm pretty sure is not the most spoken (signed?) in the world.  I think we should have a sign language specifically for astronomy similar to how we have coordinate systems and date systems designed for it.  The system should be extremely convoluted and counter-intuitive to ensure that it fits in with the rest.
