"Observations with the next generation of radio telescopes will tell us more about what actually happens when a star is eaten by a black hole -- and how powerful jets form and evolve right next to black holes," Stefanie Komossa, astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, said in a statement.

In collaboration with the International Dark-Sky Association, SKYGLOW's two-person team has recorded some of the most stunning views of the night sky in recent memory, including a time lapse of the stars over Hawaii and another of radio astronomy observatories around the US. But this new video captures a rare phenomenon that demands to be seen.

At the other sites, members of the radio astronomy community are helping make older telescopes new again: They are developing a new Arecibo receiver that would game-change its view, and a Green Bank collaboration is working on a receiver called Argus+ to make, among other things, fast, detailed maps of molecules in galaxies and places where new stars are forming.

Radio astronomy projects like these are important for our understanding of the universe (and potentially extraterrestrial life) but Halpern said that due to radio interference from cell phones and other frequency-emitting devices like car key fobs, it might just be a matter of time before the radio waves are so clogged up that we can't process any incoming signals.

Designed by an international team led by MIT scientist Shep Doeleman, the EHT is the first of its kind-a global telescope network that uses a technique called interferometry to synthesize astronomical data from multiple sources, each with its own maser—including ALMA in Chile, the Large Millimeter Telescope atop the Sierra Negra volcano in Mexico, and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Virginia.

Here on Earth, governments could create more radio quiet zones like the kind around the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia, but even then we might miss a message from ET. The Earth's atmosphere starts to block out radio frequencies as you move away from a relatively narrow frequency band called the "microwave window," so unless ET happens to be transmitting on one of those frequencies we'd struggle to hear it.
