An observer moving with respect to the cosmic rest frame should observe aconcentration and brightening of galaxies in the direction of motion and aspreading and dimming in the opposite direction. The velocity inferred fromthis dipole should match that of the cosmic microwave background (CMB)temperature dipole if galaxies are on average at rest with respect to the CMBrest frame. However, recent studies have claimed a many-fold enhancement ofgalaxy counts and flux in the direction of the solar motion compared to the CMBexpectation, calling into question the standard cosmology. Here we show thatthe sky distribution and brightness of extragalactic radio sources areconsistent with the CMB dipole in direction and velocity. We use the firstepoch of the Very Large Array Sky Survey combined with the Rapid AustralianSquare Kilometer Array Pathfinder Continuum Survey to estimate the dipole viaseveral different methods, and all show similar results. Typical fits find a$331^{+161}_{-107}$ km s$^{-1}$ velocity dipole with apex $(\ell,b) =(271^{+55}_{-58}, 56^{+13}_{-35})$ in Galactic coordinates from source countsand $399^{+264}_{-199}$ km s$^{-1}$ toward $(\ell,b) = (301^{+30}_{-30},43^{+19}_{-17})$ from radio fluxes. These are consistent with the CMB-solarvelocity, 370 km s$^{-1}$ toward $(\ell,b) = (264, 48)$, and show that galaxiesare on average at rest with respect to the rest frame of the early universe, aspredicted by the canonical cosmology.
