Ele Willoughby, PhDHappy birthday to <a href="https://spore.social/tags/astrophysicist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#astrophysicist</a> Jocelyn Bell Burnell! In 1967, as a grad student she discovered the 1st radio pulsar, a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of EM radiation. This radiation can only be observed when the star is pointed towards us; so, like the light from a lighthouse, it appears to pulse at a precise frequency. She had been working with her supervisor Antony Hewish & others to construct a radio telescope to study quasars. 🧵<a href="https://spore.social/tags/linocut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linocut</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/printmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#printmaking</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/histsci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#histsci</a>
