TIL that the telescope that capted the Wow! Signal (only likely candidate to be of ET origin) was razed to make room for a golf course - eviltoast

    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”.
