The Radio Sky: Tuned to 408MHz

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

This map of the radio sky was created by tuning radio telescopes to 408MHz. Large dish antennas at Jodrell Bank, MPIfR, and Parkes Observatory gathered the data in the 1970s. Cosmic radio waves at this frequency are generated by high-energy electrons spiraling along magnetic fields. The galactic plane runs horizontally through the center of this false-color image.
