Not an answer to your question, but check out an independent movie called “cosmos” (might be on prime video). Not the documentary series, but a low budget indie movie about 3 friends listening for alien signals. It’s a little nerdy but I enjoyed it.

I’m intentionally not saying what it’s about because that would ruin it.

I wonder about the delay in time from some of those stars which are hundreds of light years apart. I suppose that’s taken into consideration as well, but it seems like a Herculean task to me without computers.

Imagine if we are just radial spokes and it looks like a spiral because of the time it takes the light to reach us from further away 😄

No it’s harvested on Pluto by Plutonians which caused the planet to get smaller and thus be re-classified as a dwarf planet. It’s a big deal on Pluto and most of the population isn’t aware of their diminishing status in the solar system.

Get your facts straight!

I second YouTube as an excellent resource:

Check out: Melodysheep, Kurzgesagt, Veritasium

They all have good easy to understand videos.

People like PBS space time but I think it’s very technical and easy to lose track.

Read any book by Carlo rovelli. “7 brief lessons in physics” is a good one to start with. “Reality is not what it seems” is also good if you liked the previous one.
