Brian May, Rock Legend, Publishes His Thesis

Posted by kdawson on from the eyes-just-like-a-laser-beam dept.

A year ago we took note when Brian May, guitarist for Queen for the last 30 years, submitted his thesis for a Ph.D. in astrophysics. The news now is that the thesis has been published. You, too, can read all about the population of tiny asteroids and space dust that cause the Zodiacal light. The completed thesis appears as the book "A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud" (Springer and Canopus Publishing Ltd., 2008), available at Amazon for $71.96. May was awarded his Ph.D. last summer and accepted a position as chancellor at a British university in November.

    And another one bites the zodiacal dust.

    I was hoping the first person to bring up "fat-bottomed girls" would make some kind of gravitational forces of large bodies comment.

    Sadly, the parent poster here took the easier, less clever road. :(
