Jocelyn Bell Burnell Biography -Who discovered pulsars, the cosmic sources of peculiar radio pulses.

Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell (born Susan Jocelyn Bell in Belfast on July 15, 1943) is a Northern Irish astrophysicist who, as a graduate student, co-discovered the first radio signal from a pulsar in 1967.

The detection of these radio sources has allowed us to contrast the theory of stellar evolution. She is one of the UK's most influential scientists, has received numerous accolades and was credited with "one of the most significant scientific achievements of the 20th century".

The discovery was recognized by the award of the 1974 Nobel Prize in Physics, but despite the fact that she was the first to observe pulsars, Bell was not one of the recipients of the award.
