Yay, brilliant hinterland.
Had forgotten the Little Green Men thing...

#iteachphysics
Jocelyn Bell Burnell transformed astronomy #OTD in 1967 when she made the first observation of a pulsar.

She and advisor Antony Hewish initially dubbed the object LGM-1 (“Little Green Men”) for its regular signal, but soon identified it as a rotating, magnetized neutron star. (1/n)
