This is not true. Brian May did do some research in the area
and he has published a paper on the "Motion of Interstellar
Dust". He was working on his thesis for his PhD but never got
it published or accepted because he did not finish it.
Too much time taken playing for Queen. I have this on reliable
source (himself, in fact). Actually he is still very interested in
astronomy/astrophysics.

He is however a big fan of SF (as is Roger Taylor - Queens
drummer) as witnessed on the "News of the World" cover and
Roger Taylors "Fun in Space" album (and cover). Also of course
the Flash Gordon film soundtrack got underway mainly because
Brian got hooked on it and wrote most of the songs. Also he did
a hard rock version of the Starfleet theme song (with Van
Halen, Fred Mandel (I think)). To be heard to be believed.

Incidentally whoever put the original query in: I replied to
you without following up - perhaps you could repost my reply to
you to the net, so that other people could take advantage of my
posting. I reckon I put quite a few pointers to SF music in.

Thanks,
