Instead of steadying the viewing instrument, they decided, it might be more practical to stabilize the image by bending light beams from the target so that they would always hit the camera film or the retina of the viewer's eye at the same point. Using this concept, the Pennsylvania company developed a portable system that weighs only a few pounds. Mounted like a collar around the lens of a camera or other optical instrument, it steadies the image more effectively than stabilization platforms...
...seemed to be shining steadily, the astronomers fed its light into an electronic device that made 12,000 separate light-intensity measurements every second. They quickly discovered that the starlight increased to a peak about 30 times per second, a variation too rapid to be detected by the human eye. The flashes corresponded exactly to the radio pulses from the Crab pulsar, strongly suggesting that the target was indeed the pulsar. Unlike an earlier and apparently erroneous sighting of a flashing pulsar (TIME, May 31), this discovery was confirmed by the McDonald Observatory in Texas and Arizona's Kitt...
