The most powerful telescope ever launched into space, the James Webb Space Telescope–
launched December 2021 and which entered orbit in January 2022 – finally becomes
operational this week.

Intended to succeed Hubble as NASA’s flagship mission in astrophysics, the NASA 
space agency has scheduled the first official JWST science images release event 
for Tuesday, July 12th.

With a well-renowned passion for Astronomy, having earned a PhD in astrophysics 
from Imperial College, London, in 2007 and a “science team collaborator” with NASA’s
New Horizons Pluto mission – May notably launched his track New Horizons from NASA
headquarters on New Year’s Day 2019 to mark the flyby of the distant object Ultima
Thule –  May now teams with fellow space science enthusiast, 10cc frontman Graham
Gouldman to recognise this discovery moment with new music.

Written by Gouldman, he and May have created a special new track to mark the historic
JWST images reveal. 

“Floating In Heaven,” written and performed by Gouldman and featuring May on guitar
and vocals, will have a special digital & streaming release on July 12 to coincide
with the highly anticipated release of first pictures brought to earth by the JWST.

The track has come with a specially created new video which has premiered today (
Tuesday, July 12) on Queen Official YouTube channel.   Link: [https://youtu.be/hOTFcnexJBg](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=be004cf7b1&e=615f2b8493)

Talking of his fascination with space exploration May says:
“_There is nothing more
exciting in a world of exploration than going to a place about which you know nothing.
The sky’s the limit for what we could find out_.”

May’s most widely recognized space-related song of course dates back to his earliest
days with Queen: his song, “39,” the story of a group of space explorers who return
home to find that, during their one year of travel, a century had passed on Earth,
first appeared on Queen’s 1975 _A Night At The Opera_ album. May continues to routinely
perform the song in the band’s live concerts.
