  Karl Guthe Jansky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jansky was born in Norman, Oklahoma, and studied at the University of Wisconsin where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Physics in 1927.
Jansky was assigned the job of investigating the sources of static that might interfere with radio voice transmissions.
In honor to Jansky, the unit used by radio astronomers for the strength (or flux density) of radio sources is the jansky (symbolic form, Jy).

Karl Guthe Jansky (October 22, 1905 - February 14, 1950),was the American physicist and radio engineer who in 1932 discovered that the Milky Way galaxy emanates radio waves ; he did not follow up hisdiscovery, but it marked the birth of radio astronomy.
Jansky was born in Norman, Oklahoma, and studied at the University of Wisconsin where he received hisBachelor of Science degree in Physics in 1927.
Two men who learned of Jansky's discovery in 1933 were of great influence on the later development of the new study of radioastronomy: one was Grote Reber, who singlehandedly built a radio telescope in his back yard in 1937 and did the first systematic survey of radio waves from the sky.

Karl Guthe Jansky was born on October 22, 1905, in what was then the Territory of Oklahoma where his father, Cyril M. Jansky, was Dean of the college of Engineering at the university of Oklahoma at Norman.
This was the assignment of Karl Jansky to the Bell Laboratories' field station at Cliffwood, New Jersey, and the decision of his supervisors to assign him to a project involving studies of certain radio propagation phenomena.
Karl Jansky's work from 1928 to 1932, leading to the discovery which laid the foundation for the science of radio astronomy, contains many lessons for those of us in the fields of either pure or applied science, and particularly for students or young people who hope to become scientists.

 Jansky, Karl Guthe (1905-1950)
In the May 5 issue of The New York Times Jansky's discovery made front-page news – and radio astronomy was born.
Jansky replied to a question, that these galactic radio waves constitute some kind of interstellar signaling, or that they are the result of some form of intelligence striving for intergalactic communication." Nevertheless, Jansky's breakthrough can also be seen as the starting point, not only for radio astronomy, but for interstellar SETI.
However, a young radio ham, Grote Reber, was encouraged by the findings to build in 1938 what was the world's first dedicated radio telescope –; a 10-meter (30-foot) parabolic dish, with which he discovered several new cosmic radio sources.

 Jansky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In radio astronomy, the flux unit or jansky (symbol Jy) is a non-SI unit of electromagnetic flux equivalent to 10
The unit "jansky" is named after the pioneering radio astronomer Karl Jansky.
The brightest natural radio sources have flux densities of the order of one (to one hundred) jansky, which makes the jansky a suitable unit for radio astronomy.

While trying to determine the causes of radio communications static, Jansky discovered (1931) radio waves from extraterrestrial sources—a discovery that prompted the investigations of Gröte Reber and led to the development of the science of radio astronomy.
By 1932 Jansky had concluded that the source of the interference was located in the direction of the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
Not only was it by chance that he had chosen a frequency at which the galactic center emits large amounts of radiation and at which the earth's atmosphere is transparent, he also was working at a period of minimum sunspot activity which occurs only every 11 years.

Jansky detected three separate groups of static; local thunderstorms, distant thunderstorms and a steady hiss-type static of unknown origin.
The unknown source that Jansky found is the center of the Milky Way as he was able to show by determining its position on the sky.
Jansky published three reports on his findings, which were largely ignored for many years to come.

Jansky předpokládal, že rádiové emise jsou nějakým způsobem spjaté s naší galaxií, a že nepochází z hvězd, ale z ionizovaných mezihvězdných plynů.

Karl Guthe Jansky was an American electrical engineer who discovered cosmic radio emissions in 1932.
At Bell Laboratories in NJ, Jansky was tracking down the crackling static noises that plagued overseas telephone reception.
In the publication of his results, he suggested that the radio emission was somehow connected to the Milky Way and that it originated not from stars but from ionized interstellar gas.
