British rock legend joins Nasa in major career change
QUEEN guitarist Brian May now works for Nasa making 3D renderings of photographs for the US space agency, actress wife Anita Dobson has revealed.
May, 75, was awarded a PhD in astrophysics at Imperial College London in 2007.
And he creates advanced stereographic spatial images – larger, higher-quality versions of the 3D maps that used to be given away with cereal packets to children.
May uses two nearly identical images paired to produce the illusion of a single three-dimensional image, usually viewed through a stereoscope.
Former EastEnders star Anita, 74, said: “He works for Nasa – doing 3D things – pictures of their moon landings.
“He’s very smart.”
She added on the Tea With Twiggy podcast: “I don’t know what I’m doing with him.
“I am a dive brain and I have this genius for a man.”
Last November, NASA’s Artemis Moon mission saw its Orion spacecraft fly over the lunar surface in a test, as part of a renewed effort to get humans back on the Moon after the Apollo program was canceled in 1977.
