There's real work to be done.

I found Cambridge when I was a grad student really quite scary. Everybody there seemed terribly clever, terribly confident. And I was quite sure they'd made a mistake admitting me. So I'm working very, very hard and thoroughly to justify my place there.

I've got five or six sightings of this thing, all from the same bit of sky. And that implies it's something astronomical. You're probably aware that the constellations you see in the night sky in summer are different from the constellations in winter. That's because the stars go round in 23 hours, 56 minutes, not 24 hours.

Well, this funny squiggle, whatever it was, was keeping to the 23 hour, 56 minute pattern. So it was keeping its place amongst the constellations, whatever it was.

The way you get an enlargement is to run the paper faster underneath the pen, and it all gets spread out. An enlargement. So I had to go out to the observatory at the time this thing was due to be observed, switch over to high-speed chart recordings. And I did it for a month and nothing happened. My thesis advisor was livid. You know, it's been and gone and done it and you've missed it.

And I went to the trouble of actually telephoning him to tell him the news. And he was rather disbelieving. But he came out the next day, stood as I wired up for this special observation, checked that I was doing everything properly. And bless it, it performed again. And he saw it with his own eyes. And we could see immediately it's pulsing at the same rate as yesterday.

For something to keep pulsing steadily, it has to be big. But it also had quite sharp pulses, which meant it was small. So that was our conundrum, along with what the heck could it be and why is it going at this very fast rate of one and a third seconds?
