Einstein@Home Volunteers Discover New Radio Pulsar

Three citizen scientists, a German and an American couple, have discovered a new radio pulsar hidden in data gathered by the Arecibo Observatory. This is the first deep-space discovery by Einstein@Home, which uses donated time from the home and office computers of 250,000 volunteers from 192 different countries.
