Am I the last person to know this? Brian May, co-founder and lead guitarist of Queen, widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, is also an astrophysicist (he received his PhD in 2007). 😯
He was a collaborator on the New Horizons mission, and now he has written a rock anthem to commemorate the Ultima Thule flyby.
I feel like such an underachiever.
