I just came around this (german! sorry) article here
www.spiegel.de... which could really help bring
this thread back on topic. The Article is from today and about BRIAN Harold MAY, aka QUEEN guitar legend ... He seem's to be a real professional at
'Stargazing' as he just published his doctoral thesis with the title
"A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud" 
He was
lucky to get into a field of research nobody really cared for more then 30 years ... so he was able to unify this with his rockstar career.
I must admit this brings up the humility in me ... asked for in the Original first post ... bc I really bow to the people who know about and use ALL
off their god given gifts. Lots of famous people in history had more then one interest and profession (Astronoms, Physics, Mystics, Music, Math,
Philosophy, Medicine, ... where often clustered within one person) And many of the Celebrities nowadays are in my opinion simply so famous because
they Do what they are good and talented at. Of course not all are natural born geniuses and it's a lot of hard work to become really good, but I
believe theres several out there who are not just gifted in one way. So they can definetly contribute something worthy and noble for mankind with
their various interests and their public status ...
PS: Because some of you started to contribute here some stuff with songs about UFO's & Co. ... Not sure if this counts but I was somehow magically
reminded about it in the last days ... so what's about Nena's "99 red balloons"
