Show Scientists Partly Explain Mystery Signals from Space WASHINGTON, D. C. British scientists have long been puzzled by mysterious radio waves from beyond be-yond the milky way. They have also been received by the U.S. bureau bu-reau of standards. Now, Dr. Grote Reber, physical scientist and pioneer in the study of cosmic radiation, offers a partial par-tial explanation. He says the mysterious signals are electromagnetic waves which have been generated by passage of high speed particles of cosmic rays through interstellar "dust bins." The bins, he explained, are clouds of dust or smoke lying within the vast distances between stars and showing up on photographic plates on the heaverTB as dark patches. Reber said he had made tape recordings re-cordings of the mystery waves by use of radio telescope. This instrument, instru-ment, he explained, receives the radio waves as an ordinary telescope tele-scope receives light from the stars. |
