It's sort of an awakening of sorts. Now that we have the technology to do this so easily, it might be a more normal thing in the future.
I always knew he was interested in engineering, and in what I was doing, but he surprised me by calling me to say he had accepted a job here.
This is the first result of this long-term project, and it's pretty exciting to have something so spectacular come this early.
This is the first direct measurement of a neutron star's speed that exceeds 1,000 kilometers per second.
Most earlier estimates of neutron-star speeds depended on educated guesses about their distances. With this one, we have a precise, direct measurement of the distance, so we can measure the speed directly.
