The Cambridge Encyclopaedia of Astronomy - below is the spread with the CP1919 image

I had not realised when I was first tramping around the IPS field at Lord’s Bridge that an image generated from observations of CP1919 (now renamed PSR B1919+21) made using the telescope was familiar to a great many people, not least myself. This image, based on successive pulses emitted by CP1919 every 1.337 seconds, can be found in The Cambridge Encyclopaedia of Astronomy (edited by Simon Mitton, London: Jonathan Cape, 1977, p111). It was famously used by designer Peter Saville on the cover of Joy Division’s album, Unknown Pleasures, released by Factory Records in 1979. Reports vary but the image of this ‘dying star’, blinking like a lighthouse in the darkness of space, was apparently suggested by either Stephen Morris or Bernard Sumner of Joy Division after one or other had come across it in the Encyclopaedia.*
