Presenter: And now a look at the week in culture...

The rock star's guide to the Universe.

Brian May, who studied astronomy at University, this week launched his book, Bang!, written with Patrick Moore, and astrophysicist Chris Lintott.

BRIAN MAY: Astronomy is the part of science which really does try tell you your context in a Universe and to me that's a burning question. It's not really possible to answer any of these questions, I have to say, but that astronomers are getting close to putting a whole picture together and that's why we decided to write the book and it's a fairly brave attempt, I think, in a way to tell the story of the Universe in a completely linear fashion.
