Abstract: The first ever double pulsar, discovered by our team a few months ago, consists of two radio pulsars, one with a period of 22 ms and the other with a period of 2.7 s. This binary system, with an orbital period of only 2.4 hours, provides a truly unique laboratory for relativistic gravitational physics. Here we summarize recently published results and we discuss the prospects of future observations.
