When was the first exoplanet around a pulsar discovered?

The first confirmed exoplanets were announced in 1992 by astronomers Aleksander Wolszczan and Dale Frail. They found planets orbiting the pulsar PSR B1257+12, a rapidly rotating neutron star. This was a dramatic surprise because pulsars are the collapsed remains of massive stars, making the system very unlike our Solar System. The planets were detected through tiny regular changes in the pulsar’s timing.
