Cosmic rocker David Bowie now has his very own tribute in space, thanks to a constellation registered in his memory by Belgian astronomers. The Guardian reports that the constellation features seven different stars in a lightning bolt pattern and is near Mars. It was registered by Studio Brussels and the MIRA observatory. Fans of Bowie can visit a website, Stardust For Bowie, and dedicate one of the many stars contained within the constellation to their favourite Bowie song. Although Bowie's tribute is not one of the 88 officially registered constellations approved by the International Astronomical Union, the lightning-shaped star pattern is a fitting tribute to the starman.
