May studied physics and mathematics at Imperial College London, graduating
with a BSc (Hons) degree and ARCS in physics with Upper Second-Class Honours
. From 1970 to 1974, he studied for a PhD degree at Imperial College,
studying reflected light from interplanetary dust and the velocity of dust
in the plane of the Solar System. When Queen started to have international
success in 1974, he abandoned his doctoral studies, but co-authored two
scientific research papers: MgI Emission in the Night-Sky Spectrum (1972)[
109] and An Investigation of the Motion of zodiacal dust Particles (Part I)
(1973),[110] which were based on his observations at the Teide Observatory
in Tenerife.
In October 2006, May re-registered for his PhD at Imperial College and
submitted his thesis in August 2007 (one year earlier than he estimated it
would take to complete). As well as writing up the previous work he had done
, May had to review the work on zodiacal dust undertaken during the
intervening 33 years, which included the discovery of the zodiacal dust
bands by NASA's IRAS satellite. After a viva voce, the revised thesis (
entitled A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud) was
approved in September 2007, some 37 years after it had been commenced.[111][
112][113][114][115] He was able to submit his thesis only because of the
minimal amount of research on the topic during the intervening years and has
described the subject as one that became "trendy" again in the 2000s. He
graduated at the awards ceremony of Imperial College held in the Royal
Albert Hall on 14 May 2008.
In October 2007, May was appointed a Visiting Researcher in Imperial College
and continues his interest in astronomy and involvement with the Imperial
Astrophysics Group.
He is co-author, with Sir Patrick Moore and Chris Lintott, of Bang! – The
Complete History of the Universe (published in 2006)[116] and "The Cosmic
Tourist" (published in 2012).
Asteroid 52665 Brianmay was named in his honour on 18 June 2008 on the
suggestion of Sir Patrick Moore (probably influenced by the asteroid's
provisional designation of 1998 BM30).[83][117]
May appeared on the 700th episode of The Sky at Night hosted by Sir Patrick
Moore, along with Chris Lintott, Jon Culshaw, Prof. Brian Cox, and the
Astronomer Royal Martin Rees who on departing the panel, told Brian May, who
was joining it, "I don't know a scientist who looks as much like Isaac
Newton as you do".[118] May was also a guest on the first episode of the
third series of the BBC's Stargazing Live, on 8 January 2013.
On 17 November 2007, May was appointed Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores
University,[119] and installed in 2008.[120] He held the post until 2013.[

During the Pluto flyby NASA press conference held on July 17, 2015 at Johns
Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, Brian May was introduced as a science team
collaborator. He told the panel "You have inspired the world."[121]
