Title Joy Division: 40 years on from ‘Unknown Pleasures’, astronomers have revisited the pulsar from the iconic album cover Media name/outlet The Conversation Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 11/07/19 Description The English rock band Joy Division released their debut studio album “Unknown Pleasures” 40 years ago. The front cover doesn’t feature any words, only a now iconic black and white data graph showing 80 wiggly lines representing a signal from a pulsar in space. To mark the anniversary of the album, we recorded a signal from the same pulsar with a radio telescope in Jodrell Bank Observatory, only 14 miles (23 km) away from Strawberry Studios where the album was recorded.
