The publication these results soon after end war, led establishments active groups mainly Australia UK, who investigated nature also several discrete sources associated with galaxy distant galaxies. These remarkable discoveries worldwide interest great potential window electromagnetic spectrum exploration universe, resulting development outstanding telescope facilities world as well India.
