The references in the title are all oblique--no actual astronomy, but the story concerns Native American celebrity actors and even involves some space travel. The protagonist has lost his lover, who tragically died young. There is a way to experience her again--essences of people's memories can be extracted, and consumed by way of a VR Experience (see Welcome to Your Authentic Native American Experience). They can also be experienced by injection where they go straight to your brain, but that's not recommended. Our protagonist does it anyway, and gets his lover back--but she is not so well preserved. Certainly a fun story.
