Observing with a telescope is much more dangerous than people realize. You know astronomer isn’t even my job, and it is NOT astronaut, which is a common misconception. Yeah ‘cause, actually, my job… is just space

Just been reminded that 6 August is the anniversary of the first detection of pulsar signals by Dame Prof. Jocelyn Bell Burnell in 1967.

Fascinating story of how an 81-year-old former Air Force chap has come forward to announce he saw pulsars well before they were discovered but could not talk about it for half a century until instrument was decommissioned.
Bell Burnell agrees with him! 🔭🧪
