"Rock Star and Astrophysicist Collaborate on Groundbreaking 3D Asteroid Atlas"

Queen's lead guitarist and astrophysicist Brian May has collaborated with University of Arizona planetary science expert Dante Lauretta to release "Bennu 3-D: Anatomy of an Asteroid," the world's first complete and three-dimensional atlas of an asteroid. The book features images and data from the Osiris-Rex mission, which aims to collect samples from the near-Earth asteroid named Bennu. Expected to be released on Thursday, the book includes previously unseen stereoscopic three-dimensional images of Bennu and explores its potential impact on Earth, as well as its significance in understanding the origins of life.
