👽 Маленькие зелёные человечки
Ireland, working under the supervision of Antony Hewish (1924—), discovered a source of radio waves which came in bursts 1.3 seconds apart. The pulses were regular, like a signal — perhaps from another planet?
The source was given a provisional name LGM1 (‘Little Green Man 1’), and kept under quiet surveillance. Within one month, a second source was discovered, by which time it had become 100% clear that it was not extraterrestrial intelligence but a neutron star behaving like a rapidly spinning magnet.

Краткий перевод: когда исследователи впервые наткнулись на регулярный сигнал из космоса, ему присвоили имя «МЗЧ1» («Маленький Зелёный Человечек-1»), позже выяснилось, что так выглядит сигнал нейтронной звезды.
