Starman gets his own constellation
With songs like Space Oddity, Life on Mars? and Starman, it’s clear the universe was a major inspiration to David Bowie. So, naturally he should have his own constellation. Bowie now has a symbolic home among only 88 existing constellations thanks to DDB Brussels and MIRA Public Observatory, recorded at the time of his death to honour him. Google Sky also developed a virtual star constellation called ‘Stardust for Bowie’ where fans can assign their favourite Bowie song to the constellation with a personal note. The Bowie lightning bolt fills up with tiny stars, each representing a fan’s message and the constellation shines brighter.
