We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

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
Golf courses use more water as agriculture. They are truly the worse thing.
Is this legit? Not really.
But fuck golf courses? Yeah fuck golf courses.

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.
