Rock music and astronomy, like worlds, collide, 6 Feb 2006

By	Mr. O. Buxton "Olly Buxton" (Highgate, UK) - See all my reviews

Trivia point: The album art from Joy Division's seminal 1979 album "Unknown Pleasures" album was taken from Figure 6.7, of this book, "successive pulses from the first pulsar ever discovered, CP 1919 are here superimposed vertically. The pulse occurs every 1337 seconds. They are caused by a rapidly spinning neutron star."

Could be a collector's item for that reason alone.
