Abstract

Measurements have been made of the extra-terrestrial noise picked up by an aerial on different bearings at different times of the day. This noise is expressed quantitatively by the equivalent temperature of the aerial radiation resistance. Temperatures between 1 800 and 10 000° K have been observed.
