...signals, he thinks, come from "sources" that are clustered predominantly on one side of the planet. The radio waves from the sources are normally reflected back to the planet's surface by ionized layers in the Venusian atmosphere. The only waves that reach outer space are those that travel vertically and are therefore reflected less strongly. In effect, a broad beam of radio waves sweeps around Venus as the planet revolves. Only when the beam points toward the earth is it detected by Dr. Kraus. So the time between the peaks of energy gives Venus' period of rotation...
