The XC Ford Falcon Cobra GS Hardtop was launched in August 1978. Each of the XC Cobras were given there own serial number and a build number plaque from 1 to 400 which was placed on the dashboard. From number 2 to 31 were know as 'Option 97' {also known as Bathurst Cobras}, which were fitted with optional parts for homologation to compete in the Australian Touring Car Championship. Including the 5.8 Litre 351 V8, a larger radiator with twin thermo fans, transmission oil cooler, front suspension tower braces, reworked wheel housings and racing seats. They were identified by a large rear-opening bonnet scoop. The remaining 370 standard Cobras, 170 were equipped with the 351 (5.8-litre 162kW/429Nm) and the next 200 with the 302 (4.9-litre 151kW/364Nm). All featured “nostril” bonnet scoops and spoilers, Globe Bathurst 15x7 alloy wheels, four-wheel disc brakes and a limited slip diff.Price when new for a 1978 XC Cobra GS 5.8 Litre 351ci V8 four speed manual Hardtop: $10.100.00Released: August 1978Total produced: 400

Pulsar Discoverer Jocelyn Bell Burnell Wins $3 Million Breakthrough Prize, and Donates It to Fund Women and Minorities in Physics

In 1967, Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered pulsars while working as a PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Pulsars are fast-spinning stellar cores left by supernovae, which periodically beam electromagnetic radiation; you can imagine them as cosmic lighthouses (band name, anyone?).

She observed those pulses with a radio telescope, that was initially designed by her thesis supervisor Antony Hewish for monitoring interplanetary scintillation. The discovery won a Nobel Prize in 1974, but for Hewish and radio astronomer Martin Ryle… while Bell was excluded.

Nevertheless, Dame Jocelyn has a 50-year career behind her, and has contributed to teaching and leadership. Now, her work is recognized with the $3 million Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.  

“Until that moment, no one had any real idea how neutron stars could be observed, if indeed they existed. Suddenly it turned out that nature has provided an incredibly precise way to observe these objects, something that has led to many later advances,” said Edward Witten, the chair of the Breakthrough Prize selection committee,  about the discovery in a statement.  

“The plan is, broadly, to use the money to fund research students — graduate students, particularly students from underrepresented groups in physics,“ the professor herself told Space.com.
