Reborg got it right, that's Ace Frehley. Obviously a much newer picture than when KISS was in their prime. His face isn't too well known, but the Gibson sunburst guitar is a big hint. He always played those. I saw one of his signature models at Guitar Center a few months ago. My wife was less convinced than I was that I needed a $3800 guitar unfortunately. :-)
The reason Brian May was such a good guess is that - beyond the obvious similarity that both were lead guitarists for huge 70's bands - both were very interested in Astronomy. May actually has a degree in Astrophysics, while Frehley was nicknamed "Space Ace" and had a fondness for amateur astronomy and buying fancy telescopes.
You're up Reborg.
