Abstract
The first observers of the discrete sources of cosmic noise were unable to determine their size, and many considered that they might be of stellar dimensions. However, recent observations have shown that a number of these apparently ‘point’ sources have angular extensions of the order of ½°1-3. Position measurements have also suggested that the stronger sources might be identified with nebulæ of an angular size ranging from half a minute to several minutes of arc2,4,5.
