Brian May's favourite place on earth

The message, written by Brian May, on the front of the BangUniverse site, says "Our book, modestly entitled "BANG! - The Complete History of the Universe" is now available". (Actually, it was published in October.) We mentioned that May had been in the Canary Islands around that time - we like you to know that we do get the occasional celebrity visitor - and that May is writing some music for a telescope.

This post, which mentions the book and has photos of and by Brian May, quotes (presumably from the book) under an image that May took of Mount Teide:

"My favourite place on earth ...well, close to it ..... The magnificent National Park of Las Canadas, Tenerife .... the volcano is El Teide. This is where I spent many months observing the Zodiacal Light when I was a student, working on my PhD thesis. As soon as I am up there, above the clouds once more, I feel I am home."
