Abstract
IN March 1953, during a survey of the background radiation at 250 Mc./s. with the Ohio State radio telescope1,2, a low-intensity source was observed near R.A. 13h. extending at least from Dec. − 15° to + 15°. Further measurements indicate that the maximum or ridge line of this source extends along the dashed curve shown in the accompanying figure. Near Dec. + 15° the ridge becomes double. The solid contours in the figure show the measured variation in background intensity at 250 Mc./s. Galactic co-ordinates are superposed on the figure, with celestial co-ordinates (1950.0) indicated along the edges.
