The year is 1967. A young graduate student named Jocelyn Bell notices a tiny, pulsating signal in her data-a "scruff" that no one else can explain. Her perseverance leads to one of the most monumental discoveries in modern science: the pulsar. But when the Nobel Prize is awarded, her name is left off the list.

The Unseen Star is the extraordinary story of Jocelyn Bell Burnell's life, a journey from a quiet childhood in Northern Ireland to the forefront of astrophysics. This book explores not only her groundbreaking discovery but also the profound controversies that followed and her lifelong commitment to fighting for a more equitable world for women in science. This is the definitive biography of a scientist who found her purpose in the rhythm of the cosmos and proved that true legacy is built not on prizes, but on integrity and heart. Approx.172 pages, 35500 word count
