Somehow we missed this one originally, but Brian May, the guitarist for Queen, wrote his PhD back in August in astronomy.I was kinda surprised, and thought it was a PR stunt, but it's for real. Apparently, back in tha day he was writing his dissertation but left it alone to become a rock star. He finally got around to finishing it up, which is really cool. His thesis is called "A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud"
Once again, I thought it may still have been a stunt, so I did some more research.
The good news is that he's legitimately a nerd. On his site, he posts quite passionately about astronomy and posts pictures that he's taken of stellar objects. Definitely worth a visit.
