What is recorded here?
Identified a radio-noise component recurring on a sidereal schedule and localized its strongest direction toward the central region of the Milky Way, supporting an extraterrestrial origin.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is Jansky's sole-author 1933 Proceedings of the IRE paper. It does not absorb all earlier radio observations, later radio telescopes, source identifications or the full development of radio astronomy.
