Abstract
Cosmic static is a disturbance in nature which manifests itself as electromagnetic energy in the radio spectrum arriving from the sky. The results of a survey at a frequency of 160 megacycles per second show the center of this disturbance to be in the constellation of Sagittarius. Minor maxima appear in Cygnus, Cassiopeiae, Canis Major, and Puppis. The lowest minimum is in Perseus. Radiation of measurable intensity is found coming from the sun.
