Queen guitarist/astronomer Brian May plus astrophysicist Derek Ward-Thompson sat down with us to talk about the intersection of art and astronomy, and the chaotic beauty of colliding galaxies. Their new book “Islands in Infinity: Galaxies 3-D” is the first stereoscopic book on galaxies, turning flat images in 3D spacescapes using Brian’s patented 3D viewer.

They promise it will rock you. So open your eyes, look up to the skies, and listen to our podcast episode. sciencefriday.com/segments/galaxy-3d-images-featuring-queen
