A fast radio burst detected last year turned out to be from long-dead NASA satellite

we're getting trolled my space garbage, like being there and moving fast is not enough of an inconvenience

Zombie satellites, sure why not. Put it on the Pile of Dread

I love when these things come back to life randomly

Interesting python package they referenced: https://pypi.org/project/skyfield/

When are we going to do something about all these zombie satellites and other space junk just floating in a fixed orbit around earth for all eternity? We really should send somebody up there to clean up that mess.
