Explanation:
No, radio dishes cannot broadcast galaxies.
Although they
can detect them, the
above image
features a photogenic superposition during a dark night in
New Zealand about two weeks
ago.
As pictured above,
the central part of our
Milky Way Galaxy is
seen rising
to the east on the image left and arching high overhead.
Beneath the
Galactic arc and just above the horizon are the two brightest
satellite galaxies of our Milky Way, with the
Small Magellanic Cloud to the left and the
Large Magellanic Cloud on the right.
The radio dish is the
Warkworth Satellite Station located just north of
Auckland.
