+.SH DESCRIPTION
+PSR B1919+21 (AKA CP 1919) was the first pulsar ever discovered: a spinning
+neutron star emitting a periodic lighthouse-like beacon. An illustration of
+the signal received from it was published in Scientific American in 1971,
+and later in The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Astronomy in 1977, where it was
+seen by Stephen Morris, the drummer of Joy Division, and was consequently
+appropriated by Peter Saville for the cover of the band's album "Unknown
+Pleasures".
