The Radio Sky: Tuned to 408MHz

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Tuning a radio telescope to 408 MHz reveals the radio sky. In the 1970s, large dish antennas at Jodrell Bank, MPIfR, and Parkes Observatory mapped the entire sky at this frequency. Cosmic radio waves at this frequency are generated by high-energy electrons spiraling along magnetic fields.
