Abstract

Besides the well-known “optical window” from the ozone limit at about 3000 Å to the infrared at about 22 μ the Earth’s atmosphere has a second range of transparency from λ ≈ 1 millimetre to as far as the onset of ionospheric reflexion at λ ≈ 30 metres. Since K. G. Jansky’s discovery (1931) radio astronomy has exploited this spectral range.
