"Pulsars: A tale of cosmic clocks" is a short film that has been awarded the 1st ex-aequo Prize for Scientific Short Films by Ciencia en Acción 2022. It brings together storytellers and scientists, combining live action and animation, in an engaging story about the space travel of a teenage girl with the mysterious lady who discovered pulsars.
