Constellation Named for David Bowie

There are many ways to honor ones memory but here's one thats outta this world!

According to EarthSky.org a new constellation in the shape of a lightening bolt has been registered for the late, great artist. EarthSky says the story was picked up on from an piece originally done by Rolling Stone Magazine called Stardust Memories. In the article it's noted that a studio in Brussels reached out to MIRA Public Observatory in an effort to, “to give Bowie a unique place in the galaxy.”

The result was a constellation consisting of seven stars in the shape of a lightening bolt, to resemble the iconic album cover of ‘Aladdin Sane.’ Although the constellation has been plotted out the structure of stars is apparently causing some controversy in the science world. I tried to decipher the language but it's beyond me! Instead I found a cool website that lets you click on the constellation and add your favorite song! Check that out at Stardust for Bowie.

You can also take a look at the full write up on EarthSky.org and when you figure it...keep it to yourself. In my book the bottom line that the David Bowie now lives in the stars!

Rock on!
