Why did the 89‐millisec period of the Vela pulsar, PSR 0833‐45, abruptly decrease by 208 nanosec (sometime between 24 February and 3 March)? Theorists have risen to the challenge of explaining the observation made by Philip Reichley and George Downs (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) and independently by V. Radhakrishnan and R. N. Manchester (
