As the world still mourn the release of David Bowie , we can take some ease that he ’s posthumously received the most appropriate protection ever : a configuration named after him , shaped in his iconic lightning bolt .
The MIRA Public Observatory in Brussels , Belgium , worked with a local radio station to register the constellation , which dwell of seven principal located in the vicinity of Mars . FromDDB Brussels :
It was not well-heeled to ascertain the appropriate superstar , ” says Philippe Mollet from MIRA . “ Studio Brussels asked us to give Bowie a unique post in the galaxy . Referring to his various record album , we chose seven principal – 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 transcript of the iconic Bowie lightning and was record at the exact time of his dying .
I know this is at least partly just a publicity stunt , but I do n’t care — this is arrant . In fact , I think we should get disembarrass of all the old , crappy configuration and supplant them with Bowie - theme new ones . You ca n’t evidence me that the night sky would n’t be meliorate if we got free of Orion and exchange him with the Goblin King .
