British rock legend joins Nasa in major career change
QUEEN guitarist Brian May now works for Nasa making 3D versions of photos for the US space agency, actress wife Anita Dobson has revealed.
May, 75, was awarded a PhD in astrophysics from Imperial College London in 2007.

And he creates advanced stereograph space images — larger, higher quality versions of the 3D cards that used to be given away with cereal packets for kids.
May uses two nearly identical images paired to produce the illusion of a single three-dimensional image, usually viewed through a stereoscope.
Ex-EastEnders star Anita, 74, said: “He works for Nasa — does 3D stuff — pictures of their moon landings.
“He’s very clever.”
She added on the Tea With Twiggy podcast: “I don’t know what I’m doing with him.
“I’m a dip brain and I’ve got this genius for a husband.”
Last November NASA’s Artemis Moon mission saw its Orion spacecraft skim over the lunar surface in a test, as part of a renewed attempt to get humans back on the Moon after the Apollo programme was cancelled in 1977.

Can you bank on holiday?
WITH the UK’s first Coronation for more than 70 years taking place tomorrow, workers across the country are excited about an extra day off.
The Government declared last year that Monday, May 8 would be a bank holiday so families could celebrate the momentous royal event.
Gary Wedderburn, an adviser from arbitration service Acas, says: “Staff may want to take time off but it may be a busy day for a lot of firms.”
Here are his tips . . .
- 1. Bosses need to discuss and agree with staff whether their businesses will remain open on Bank Holiday Monday.
- If the business is open, an employee’s contract will show if it allows them paid time off and how to take leave if the business will not be closing.
- If the contract says all bank holidays are paid time off, this might mean an employee will get an additional day’s holiday. But if the contract just gives a total number of days’ holiday each year, an employee might not get the extra day as a holiday.
- If the bank holiday is not included in an employee’s holiday entitlement, an employer can add it. But they do not have to do this.
- If the business is staying open, employers need to be clear on the process staff should follow to ask for the bank holiday off. They also need to indicate what type of leave and pay will apply if employees are not working
