Pulsars
In the late summer of 1967 radio astronomers
detected some very unusual signals consisting of
short pulses of radio noise arriving at approximately
one-second intervals. It was at first thought that
perhaps a secret Soviet space satellite had been
detected, but it was soon clear that the mysterious
pulsating radio source came from among the very
remote fixed stars. Detailed study proved the source
to be extremely precise and regular, more regular
than anything ever observed in nature. The next
theory was that we had detected signals from an
"alien" spacecraft or distant planet. By the spring of
1,968, three additional pulsating radio sources had
been discovered and today over 100 such sources
are known. In all cases, the periods of pulsation are
extremely regular (note the number of decimal places
listed in the table), with periods ranging from 1/30 of a
