Wow, that’s not something I even considered could happen. It does raise an interesting question though – how many more of these could be out there? Seems like it would require a whole-sky survey just to detect them.
Arecibo radio telescope was doing something like this, until it was destroyed by a hurricane.
Some info if you’re interested: https://astro.cornell.edu/news/decade-long-galaxy-survey-releases-final-catalog
The fact that we’re not willing to pay the relative pittance (compared to lots of other shit in the Federal budget) to rebuild Arecibo is criminal.
