November 28th, 1967, Jocelyn Bell observes the universe and suddenly notices a “bit of scruff” recorded on paper. This she would discover was a beam of electromagnetic radiation emitted from the magnetic pole of a neutron star, otherwise known as a radio pulsar. This discovery, which contributed so much to our understanding of the universe, was rewarded with a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974. The only catch was that Jocelyn Bell Burnell was omitted, not receiving the prize handed out for her own discovery.
