Descripción
1967 was the year of the so-called “war of the six days” or
“third Arab Israeli war”, the year of the Che Guevara's
death in Bolivia, the year of the military coup in Greece and, in
medicine, the year of the first human heart transplant. Moreover, the
signing of the international agreement on the use of space with peaceful
means and the crash of the Russian shuttle Soyuz-1, with Cosmonaut
Vladimir Kamarov on board also happened that year. Likewise, Spanish
writer and professor of journalists, José Azorín, passed
away. However, here we are interested in 1967 because it was the year of
the detection of pulsars, which astronomers initially confused with
signals from extraterrestrials or Little Green Men. Nowadays, they are
still present in the headlines.
