Happy Birthday to Sir Brian May, born 19 July 1947, musician extraordinaire and astrophysicist 😎.
May graduated from Imperial College London with a BSc degree in math and physics. He worked on his PhD in astrophysics from 1970 to 1974, until his musical career took off. He finished it in 2006-2007!
Lately, May has collaborated with NASA on the New Horizons, OSIRIS-REx and DART missions, with JAXA on Hayabusa2 and with ESA on the Hera mission.

For those who failed to recognize a stereo pair of 3d images immediately (or failed to read the alt text description) Dr. May is a noted enthusiast of stereo photography, and this pair of images is no exception.
Stare as if focusing past your screen and merge the overlapping double images. Smart phones are actually almost ideal for viewing these; turn your phone to landscape orientation.
He's been at this a while, he also invented the bathroom selfie:
