COSMIC MESSAGE

This map of the radio sky was created in the 1970s by combining data from three observatories. It shows cosmic radio waves at 408 megahertz, a frequency between US broadcast television channels 13 and 14. These radio waves are generated by high-energy electrons spiraling along magnetic fields in space.
