Like pictures of pulsars.
We understand the universe a lot more thanks to it.
But they're also really arcane objects.
I guess, discoveries that seem like they were just like total, like they would only interest like two people.
For example, it was the first detection of Zeeman splitting.

Those are spectral lines.
They split in the presence of a magnetic field.
That was discovered at Green Bank Observatory.
