Abstract
DURING the rocket flight reported in the preceding communication, Bowyer et al. found two celestial X-ray sources with diameters less than 5°. One was located in the northern part of Scorpius in a region of faint stars but devoid of visible nebulosity and radio objects, while the other was coincident with the Crab Nebula, the well-known source of optical and radio synchrotron emission.
