Abstract
RECENT measurements by Hey, Parsons and Phillips1 on the angular distribution of the galactic radio-frequency radiation at 64 Mc./s. and particularly the observations by these authors, by Bolton and Stanley2,3 and by Ryle and Smith4 on variable sources of radio-frequency radiation in low and high galactic latitudes strongly suggest a revision of current ideas on the origin of this radiation.
