Recent observations in the X- and γ-Ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum have given strong evidence for the existence of an extragalactic intensity with a slowly steepening power law spectrum in the region 103 to 108 eV. Further data from the OSO-III high energy γ-Ray detector are in agreement with earlier published reports, and suggest that the γ-Rays from high galactic latitudes have a softer spectrum than those from the galactic plane.
