I never knew Brian May of the Queens had an interest in astronomy.

Brian May traded rock ‘n’ roll for the big bang as he launched a book about the origins of the universe. May, who abandoned doctoral studies in astronomy to play guitar with `70s rock legends Queen, has returned to his first love as a co-author of the book “Bang! The Complete History of the Universe,” which was launched Monday.

Co-written with Patrick Moore and Chris Lintott, presenters of the British Broadcasting Corp. astronomy program ”The Sky at Night,” the book recounts the formation of the universe from its origins more than 13 billion years ago and looks forward to its end, several billion years from now.

I haven’t read his book yet (c’mon it was just launched) but I’m sure it’s gonna give people some rock n’ roll facts of the universe and its origins.  Good work Brian!
