Queen star celebrates doctorate

Queen star Brian May has gained his doctorate in Astronomy - 36 years after starting his thesis.

The rock guitarist, who abandoned his studies to pursue a career in music, was told of his success after taking a three-hour exam to discuss his work.

The 60-year-old, who handed in his 48,000-word tome earlier this month, said: "You can call me Dr May!"

...

The performer's thesis is entitled Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud, and he has been in the Canary Islands to carry out some astronomical observations.

May said he is "very keen" to carry out some further research and added that "some pretty spectacular stuff" could be achieved.
