Transcription: Jocelyn Bell Burnell is an astronomer who discovered a new type of star called a pulsar. She began her career as part of a research team looking for new ways of locating quasars. The team built a large radio telescope and began surveying the sky in July 1967. In November of that year, Bell Burnell came across a pulsating radio signal. This was later identified as a pulsating star, or pulsar. Antony Hewish, her research and head of the team, went on to receive the Nobel Prize for Physics for this discovery.
