David Bowie now has a lightning-bolt-shaped constellation named after him
A new constellation has been named in honor of Earth’s favorite star man.
The Belgian radio station Studio Brussel and the public astronomy observatory MIRA have teamed up to register seven stars—appropriately located near Mars—as a unique celestial constellation in memory of singer David Bowie, who passed away on Jan. 10.
Playing connect-the-dots with the seven stars yields the shape of a lightning bolt—an homage to the one that streaks across Bowie’s face on the iconic cover of his 1973 album Aladdin Sane.
