“The story of Jocelyn Bell Burnell’s discovery of pulsars is an iconic moment in 20th century science – and we are thrilled beyond measure to be the first to display this legendary object as part of Discovery.



“The history of women scientists is often hidden, but female scientists were active throughout the 19th and 20th century, undertaking ground-breaking research and changing the world around us in the same way the CPS has. It’s especially fitting that Dame Jocelyn’s pulsar chart will go on display for the very first time on International Women’s Day.”
