Radio interferometry is a technique in radio astronomy where signals from two or more radio telescopes are combined to simulate a much larger telescope, allowing astronomers to achieve higher resolution than a single dish could provide.
Here’s how it works, in simple terms: https://www.seti.org/signal-and-image-processing-foundations-radio-interferometry
Last year, astronomers detected a fast radio burst that got them excited as to a new discovery, but confused them as to the signal's power
When they pinpointed the signal it turned out to be... a #NASA satellite that died in 1964
They have some good theories as to how the zombie satellite fired off some signals but us #StarTrek fans know what's going on
