Abstract
THE far ultraviolet photometer mounted on Venera-4, launched on June 12, 1967, scanned the sky to measure the ultraviolet radiation from the Milky Way, which was discovered by Kurt1. The observations were made in two spectral intervals, the first including the hydrogen Lyman α line (λ 1050–1340 Å) and the second off the Lyman α line (λ 1225–1340 Å).
