And he creates advanced stereograph space images — larger, higher quality versions of the 3D cards that used to be given away with cereal packets for kids.
May uses two nearly identical images paired to produce the illusion of a single three-dimensional image, usually viewed through a stereoscope.
Ex-EastEnders star Anita, 74, said: “He works for Nasa — does 3D stuff — pictures of their moon landings.
“He’s very clever.”
She added on the Tea With Twiggy podcast: “I don’t know what I’m doing with him.
“I’m a dip brain and I’ve got this genius for a husband.”
Last November NASA’s Artemis Moon mission saw its Orion spacecraft skim over the lunar surface in a test, as part of a renewed attempt to get humans back on the Moon after the Apollo programme was cancelled in 1977.
