PULSARS are rapidly spinning NEUTRON STARS emitting a beam of radio waves, like lighthouses. Experiment tells us that they are very stable clocks when isolated. A pulsar in a binary system is thus a moving clock, the best tool that one could dream of to test a relativistic theory. Indeed, many orbital data can be extracted from the analysis of the pulse arrival times, then compared with the predi...
