"Brian May, Queen's guitarist, aids NASA in historic asteroid sample return"

Brian May, the guitarist of Queen and a doctorate holder in astrophysics, played a crucial role in helping NASA return its first-ever asteroid sample from Bennu to Earth. May created stereoscopic images that aided in finding a safe landing spot on the asteroid. The sample, consisting of rocks and dust, has the potential to reveal secrets about the origins of the universe, our planet, and life itself. The mission, which began in 2016, culminated with the sample's arrival back in Earth's orbit. May, unfortunately, couldn't be present for the sample's reception due to Queen's upcoming U.S. tour.
