Congrats to Brian May [1] on getting his PhD published [2]!
Indeed, when I looked at the Springer Astronomy homepage [3], I was greeted by the incongruous sight of Brian May next to a snippet about the thesis [4] – directly above the blurbs for the newly-published Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers [5] and Dictionary of Minor Planet Names & Addendum [6].
Oh, and no, it’s not this Brian May [7], he got his PhD [8] some time ago.. 🙂
