- Sir Brian May, Derek Ward-Thompson, and J-P Metsavainio collaborated on a book featuring 3D images of galaxies.
- The book, 'Islands in Infinity: Galaxies 3D', showcases galaxies in three dimensions using stereo photography.
- J-P Metsavainio's meticulous work involves creating 3D images by adjusting pixels manually, without AI assistance.
- The book includes detailed explanations of galaxy evolution, supported by Ward-Thompson's 40 years of research.
- Images in the book reveal galaxies' true scale and beauty, with some requiring over a decade of work to complete.
- The project aims to make astronomy accessible and exciting for the general public.
