The observed cosmical radio-emission has to be divided into the galactic and metagalactic components. The separation of these components is a problem of first importance. It was shown by us (Shklovsky, 1952 [1]) that at least 75% of the observed intensity near the galactic poles is caused by sources located in our stellar system. These sources form an almost spherical sub-system. Another model of the distribution of the cosmical radio-emission sources (Westerhout and Oort, 1951 [2]) is popular in the western countries. The so-called ‘isotropic component’ of metagalactic origin used in that model was considered responsible for the greatest part of the intensity near the galactic poles.
