In 1974, a young astrophysics college professor sent his even younger doctoral student to spend several weeks in Arecibo, a city some 50 miles west of San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico. This northern city is the site of the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, known as the Arecibo Observatory.

In 1975, Dr. Joseph Taylor and his graduate student Russell Hulse discovered pulsars using the Arecibo Radiotelescope. In 1993 they won a Nobel Prize in Physics for that discovery, which helped confirm Einstein's theory of relativity.

What do Albert Einstein and the Arecibo Observatory have in common? Twenty-years ago Joseph Taylor and Russell Hulse won a Nobel Prize for their discovery of pulsars, using the Arecibo Observatory to detect these binary stars. This discovery offered evidence of Einstein's theory of relativity.
