Comment: This survey is a mosaic of data taken at Jodrell Bank, Effelsberg and Parkes telescopes. The data was distributed in the "NRAO Images from the Radio Sky" CD ROM. This image was generated by SkyView.
Energy= 1.69x10^-6 eV Frequency= 408x10^6 Hz (408MHz) Wavelength= 73.5 cm

Comment:This all-sky map was made from roughly six months of scanning data from the A2 instrument on board the HEAO-1 satellite. This image was generated by SkyView.
Energy= 2keV - 10keV Frequency= 5x10^17 Hz - 2.5x10^18 Hz Wavelength= 6.2x10^-8 cm - 1.2x10^-8 cm (6.2 - 1.2 angstroms)

Comment: This map was generated by the EGRET (Energetic Gamma-Ray Experiment Telescope) team at Goddard using EGRET data from the first year of CGRO operations (beginning April 1991). It represents the first all-sky survey at energies above 100keV.
Energy= > 100MeV Frequency= > 2.5x10^22 Hz Wavelength= < 1.2 x 10^-12 cm ( < 0.00012 angstroms )
