David Bowie Gets Constellation Named After Him

The MIRA Public Observatory and Studio Brussels have registered a constellation in David Bowie’s name. The constellation is marked in the shape of Bowie’s iconic Aladdin Sane lightening bolt, bordered by seven stars, giving Bowie a symbolic home in the stars. Philippe Mollet from MIRA Public Observatory explained. “It was not easy to determine the appropriate stars. Studio Brussels asked us to give Bowie a unique place in the galaxy. Referring to his various albums, we chose seven stars—Sigma Librae, Spica, Alpha Virginis, Zeta Centauri, SAA 204 132, and the Beta Sigma Octantis Trianguli Australis—in the vicinity of Mars. The constellation is a copy of the iconic Bowie lightning and was recorded at the exact time of his death.”

Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie”
