I am so very excited to share this story. Def. a career highlight!

Having the opportunity to sit down and have a one-on-one candid chat with the woman who discovered pulsars and changed the course of astrophysics, leading to me being extremely passionate about this topic and eventually moving into a career of pulsar astronomy. Yeah, this was big.

I hope you enjoy this interview, where Prof. Bell Burnell offers some personal insight into the history of the big discovery as well as the legacy of one of astronomy’s most iconic and influential figures.

What an honour it is to tell this story!

This is very well said. I'm spreading the word. I want to know Freedom before I die. I'm not participating in collective suicide. You should commit suicide individually if you don't heed this.

There were two new probable gravitational-wave events in the past two days. If they are real, both came from mergers of binary black holes.

1️⃣ S251013x on 13 October at a distance of around 12 billion light-years. If the masses of the two black holes were equal, they were between around 25 and 100 solar masses. More info: https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S251013x/view/

2️⃣ S251014cn on 14 October at a distance of around 2 billion light-years. If the masses of the two black holes were equal, they were between around 6 and 25 solar masses. More info: https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S251014cn/view/
