Queen- Somebody to Love

[troupatour]

Queen guitarist Brian May is completing his PhD in astrophysics three decades after abandoning that pursuit to form what became one of the greatest rock bands ever.

May has evidently found a method of measuring the velocity of the particles within the cloud. From what I can find online, that seems to be a pretty big deal among those who study the cloud.
