Cultural reference

[edit]

I think it would be worth a line to mention its appearance on the cover of "Unknown Pleasures" by Joy Division. There aren't many pulsars that appear in popular culture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.89.86 (talk) 16:15, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think so, too. Actually the reference WAS in the article, but was somehow destroyed by ill citation formatting (not that I know how to do better), as it seems. I restored the original reference. -- marilyn.hanson (talk) 19:51, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As someone who can remember where they were the day they announced the discovery of LGM 1, I would be against any merger that undermined the term, LGM 1. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orastroman (talkcontribs) 09:08, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from LGM-1 into PSR 1919+21

[edit]


Dramatization

[edit]

I think that around the 40th anniversary of the discovery a dramaization of it was made and broadcast. I particularly remember one scene where the actors playing Bell and Hewish enter a room with printers labelled LGM 1 though LGM 4 are busy printing out detected pulses.

This might be worth adding to the article.

Can anyone remember the title and who broadcast it?Graham1973 (talk) 06:57, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What frequency was it detected at

[edit]

Was frequencies were being observed when it was detected ? Interplanetary Scintillation Array only mentions 81.5 MHz. - Rod57 (talk) 22:52, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
