      Maybe something I can actually understand will emerge from nebulosity

      Is it OK if I live-tweet my reading? It’s an interesting text for me; may be less relevant for you!

      OK I’m now going to look into the scientific background. Turns out this was the FIRST optical pulsar observation, and it was a big deal

      > because it was extremely unclear how pulsars could work, and the hope was optical observation would constrain that. Was a race to find one

      The science is actually extremely cool: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_Pulsar … This is the neutron star remnant of the 1054 supernova!

      I got completely derailed by this! Didn't know the story of the optical discovery, was cool to read about the tinfoil hack and 2*pi errors

          Yeah, that’s really great. Fascinating both for its own sake and as nice examples of how science actually gets done: improvisationally!

          This skillful technical situated improvisation is a key aspect of “shop work,” which is critical & most theories of science overlookpic.twitter.com/e5FfNL01Kn
