Scientific paper

IT has been established that the radiation from Taurus (IAU 05N2A) is profoundly modified every year around June 15 when this radiation passes through the solar corona. Extensive observations have been made in the metre wave-length range by the British, Russian, French, and Australian groups1-4. It has been found that there is a progressive increase of the angular diameter and a reduction of its intensity as the angular distance of the source from the Sun decreases. This has been attributed to the scattering by a non-uniform corona with randomly distributed irregularities of electron density.
