...star 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...

Except that they live and think just like all of us, so we have to be interested. We cannot term ourselves excruciatingly dasman...
