This week I sat down and read Dr Brian May's (from Queen) astrophysics thesis all about dust in the plane of the Solar System. You can usually see the glow from this dust just before sunrise and just after sunset. Watch to find out how Brian May spent years studying this dust before his success with Queen, and how he came back to it in 2006 to finish off his research and find evidence for how fast the Sun is orbiting around the Milky Way. @BrianMay
