Queen’s guitar player Brian May had published his dissertation which made him the PhD last year. The name of this scientific work is A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud, said Space.com. It is the classic thesis on astrophysics that describes the nature of Zodiacal light. On August 24, 2007 an infamous musician was granted the PhD after almost thirty years of staying away from science – something he was into during the youth years.
The basic experimental data for his work was gathered by Fabry-Perot Spectrometer which is located on Canari islands in 1971–72. Right after May has received the PhD he was offered a president’s seat in John Moors University in Liverpool (LJMU) that he took in April this year. Practically, Brian May came back to what he was doing and probably something he was seeking throughout most of his life.
