    A reminder to everyone in #Ireland interested in #astronomy that tonight there will be an #occultation of the entire sky by cloud.

    I hope this clarifies the situation.

    55 years ago #today Jocelyn Bell discovered the first known pulsar -- a star the size of a city, spinning once a second, whipping up intense radio signals that sounded like the beep-beep-beep of an alien signal.

    British designer Peter Saville created the cover for Joy Division's "Unknown Pleasures" inspired by a pulsar radio-wave pattern that astronomer Harold Craft published in his PhD thesis.

    Could that be the most widely seen PhD thesis in history?

    1. Astronomers saw a star dancing around a black hole. And it proves Einstein's theory was right
      from CNN
      For the first time, astronomers have observed a star orbiting the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. And the star is dancing to the predicted tune of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
