Figure 5. Calculated flux density
(summed over all frequencies) of TV radiation that would be measured
over a sidereal day by an observer located in the direction of
Barnard's star, third closest to the Sun and by chance near our
celestial equator. The origin of the various peaks is indicated;
"rise " and "set" refer, respectively, to the appearance at the
western limb and disappearance at the eastern limb of a particular
region on the rotating Earth (N.A., North America; W.E., Western
Europe).
