PSR B1620-26 PSR B1620-26 PSR B1620-26 is a binary star system located at a distance of 3,800 parsecs (12,400 light-years) in the globular cluster of Messier 4 (M4, NGC 6121) in the constellation of Scorpius. The system is composed of a pulsar (PSR B1620-26 A) and a white dwarf star (WD B1620-26 or PSR B1620-26 B). As of 2000, the system is also confirmed to have an extrasolar planet orbiting the two stars. The double system ("triple" including the substellar companion) is just outside the core of the globular cluster. The age of the cluster has been estimated to be about 12.2
26 Miles (Santa Catalina) "Forty kilometres in a leaky old boat . . .", a rare mention of a metric unit in American popular music, and a tolerably accurate conversion (26 miles = 41.8 km). 26 Miles (Santa Catalina) "26 Miles (Santa Catalina)" is a popular song by the 1950s and 1960s pop band The Four Preps. It reached number two on the "Billboard" Hot 100 and number six on the "Billboard" R&B chart in 1958. The song sold over a million copies and the group appeared on several television shows, including "The Gisele MacKenzie Show" (March 15, 1958) and "The Ed Sullivan Show".
