Abstract
This chapter is about galaxies and their study in the period from 1969 to 1974. Galaxies that are strong radio emitters—a phenomenon that seemed to originate from the heart of the system—play an important role and will be discussed in Sect. 5.2 as ‘AGN galaxies’: galaxies with an active nucleus. The most spectacular examples of these galaxies are quasars. First, in Sect. 5.1, galaxies will be discussed that are not particularly strong radio emitters. Sect. 5.3 will look at clusters of galaxies, along with the sum total of all galaxies: the Universe.

In the 1930s another Bell engineer, Karl Jansky, discovered that radio radiation came from the Universe—see Chap. 1.
