Brian May, Legendary Guitarist from Queen, Publishes His Thesis

From /.:

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.

May was awarded his Ph.D. last summer and accepted a position as chancellor at a British university in November.
