"Multiplicity suggests a natural phenomenon," says Astronomer Hewish. "It would be stretching the imagination too far for all of them to be generated by intelligent beings." The Mullard team searched in vain for slight changes in signal frequency that would indicate it came from a planet or a double star...
Gravitational Collapse. Weighing the possibilities, the Cambridge astronomers decided that the signals might be the natural oscillations of dying stars that had shrunk by gravitational contraction into white dwarfs-or into neutron stars,* which have been postulated but never actually discovered. But this explanation has its difficulties: if they do...
