I don’t know much about this telescope but fuck golfers
I’d rather not buttfuck golfers.
i’ll take your share
I’d you take a look at a satellite picture, most of the invaluable green space in urban areas is taken by rich golfing assholes and dead people.
We could do with less golfcourses. Especially in places where it’s too hot for them to stay green in the summer.
Make only the green have grass, everything else is rough weeds…insects and all. A real game of golf.
Everything I see a golf course I think the spaceccould be something useful. This case they deleted the useful. Such a waste.
Every time I see a golf course I get the urge to do a praxis
The land the radio telescope that first detected the microwave radiation from the big bang was in private ownership for the longest time. Luckily, it was just bought by the township to be converted into a public park with the telescope itself being preserved when the whole site was at risk of being “developed”.
edit: Source: https://holmdel-cilu.org/holmdel-horn-antenna When they open, please visit the Antenna, eat something local and let people know why you came. Make sure the township knows it was a financially good thing that they’re preserving it.
To make room for a golf course… Yeees… definitely to make room for “a golf course”, and abso-frigging-lutely not to prevent anymore transmission intercepts.

conspiracy is always an easy answer. But overall I agree, it was despicable to raze it for any motif
I don’t know.
A golf course motif is all about the calm and classic vibe of a golf setting. Think rolling green landscapes, manicured lawns, flags marking holes, and peaceful water hazards. It’s a picture of leisure and tradition, often with a touch of luxury.
On the other hand, a motif for the search for extraterrestrial life dives into the realm of science and cosmic mystery. It’s more about high-tech equipment, like telescopes or satellite dishes scanning the skies. You’d imagine starry backgrounds, images of distant galaxies, and advanced tech setups, maybe with a touch of sci-fi elements. This motif captures the human quest for knowledge and the unknown, reaching out into the depths of space.
So, it’s tranquil, earthy elegance versus high-tech, cosmic exploration. Tough call.

People are downvoting this thinking you are actually comparing the use of the land, but I do appreciate your comparison of motifs, and your thorough effort to make a joke on a typo
😉
For any telescope, it is poetic. For the only one who catch the only signal possibly coming from outerspace is another ball park
Is this legit? Not really.
But fuck golf courses? Yeah fuck golf courses.
You earn an up vote.
Golf courses use more water as agriculture. They are truly the worse thing.
If this bothers you you can signup to make a monthly donation to SETI.
A bit of over exaggerating in the title (as per usual.) The frequency used is one that we would consider a good candidate for listening for alien signals.
That doesn’t mean the wow signal had anything to do with extra terrestrial technology.
The article is decent, and covers a bit of the tech used in the radio telescope, but the parts about the alien signals are just pure speculation.
There is no non-intelligent actor explanation for it known at this time that accounts for the data. Which leaves us with 3 options
-
Someone was breaking the rules and breaking the rules in a really weird way.
-
Something happens in astronomy which we don’t yet understand
-
Aliens
Now I don’t think 3 is very likely, at all. Especially the way the events happened.

We now know where that message came from
I thought for sure this was going to be Owen Wilson.
