+ + <_description> +PSR B1919+21 (AKA CP 1919) was the first pulsar ever discovered: +a spinning neutron star emitting a periodic lighthouse-like beacon. +An illustration of the signal received from it was published in +Scientific American in 1971, and later in The Cambridge Encyclopedia +of Astronomy in 1977, where it was seen by Stephen Morris, the +drummer of Joy Division, and was consequently appropriated by +Peter Saville for the cover of the band's album "Unknown Pleasures". + +http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsar +http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSR_B1919%2B21 +http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unknown_Pleasures +http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Saville_%28graphic_designer%29 +http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Division + +Written by Jamie Zawinski; 2013. + +
