THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 5, 1933

* Karl Guthe Jansky
* Physicist & radio engineer
* Father of radio astronomy
* Milky Way radio waves


the top of the front page has a one column heading: "NEW RADIO WAVES TRACED TO CENTRE OF THE MILKY WAY" with subheads. (see) First report coverage on the discovery of radio waves emanating from the Milky Way by Karl Guthe Jansky.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 34 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
 
wikipedia notes:
His discovery was widely publicized, appearing in the New York Times of May 5, 1933.
