In 1969, the first pulsar was detected by a radio telescope. This discovery was made by Jocelyn Bell Burnell and her advisor Antony Hewish, who observed regular radio pulses emanating from a celestial source. Initially, the signals were thought to be from extraterrestrial life, humorously nicknamed "LGM-1" for "Little Green Men." Later, it was determined that these signals were produced by rapidly rotating neutron stars, now known as pulsars.
