DISCOVERER OF PULSARS TO GIVE JANSKY LECTURE 

	CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Oct. 21 -- Halloween is the perfect
time to think of dark, starry skies.  Tuesday, Oct. 31, is also the
date of this year's Karl G. Jansky Lecture, a talk designed for
amateur astronomers and anyone interested in the mysteries of the
universe. 
	Jocelyn Bell-Burnell of the Open University in Milton
Keynes, U.K., will give this year's lecture at 8 p.m. in the Gilmer
Hall Auditorium on the Grounds of the University.  Bell-Burnell is
credited with the discovery of pulsars, cosmic sources of periodic
radio emission.  Her lecture is titled, "Tick, Tick, Tick Pulsating
Star, How We Wonder What You Are."
	The Jansky Lectureship was established in 1966.  It is named
in honor of Karl Jansky, who detected the first cosmic radio waves
from the Milky Way in 1933.  The lecture is sponsored in part by the
National Radio Astronomy Observatory.
