Abstract
ONE of the unexplained phenomena of radio-astronomy is the existence of intense point sources of noise. These have been associated with the galaxy because they seem to be point sources within the accuracy of measurement, and because they have not shown pronounced parallax or proper motion. But the assumption of galactic or stellar origin fails to explain all the facts as understood now.
