Brian May has once again proven why he is rock royalty. Not only is he the Queen guitarist, but he is also an astrophysicist who recently helped NASA return its first ever asteroid sample to Earth.
In October 2006, May re-registered for his doctorate at Imperial College, and he submitted his thesis in August 2007
the revised thesis (titled “A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud”)[1] was approved in September 2007, some 37 years after it had been commenced
In 2020, he participated in the team that contributed the stereography images of numerical simulations of asteroid disruptions and re-accumulations in a publication in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications
It actually sounds like he’s pretty busy with the science these days.

Admittedly, I haven’t been paying close attention to Brian May’s physics career.
