As a Ph.D. student, Jocelyn Bell Burnell analyzed radio telescope data when she noticed radio pulses from one point in the sky. She had discovered pulsars: rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation, like cosmic lighthouses. The work earned her graduate supervisor a Nobel and launched an outstanding career.
