@fskornia this is how I make mine, but I'm not sure whether that's the right term to search for:

attenzione a torbidi e infiltrati che la destra cerca di condizionare il voto provocando incidenti

(Western Union today is mostly a retail money remitter and check cashing outlet for the unbanked, but back in the day was a significant part of US telecom infrastructure, providing data communications including telegraph, teletype, and telegram services).

@badastro Phil Plait doubtlessly knows all this, so this is very much a "yes, and..."
Those of us who are amateur astronomers can guess just how extreme the size needed must be, even without knowing the exact numbers. We look at, say, Mars, and even with a big telescope (by amateur standards, that is -- let's say 20 inches or 0.5 meters in diameter), we're doing well to see Earth-continent-sized regions of the planet as distinct entities, and then mostly because of color contrast, not specific surface details. Under some very specific conditions, you can see smaller things, but again only by virtue of contrast. The smallest thing you can see on Mars with large amateur gear is Olympus Mons (and it's not recognizable as a mountain, just as a differently colored dot), which is roughly (in linear dimensions) the size of France.
That's for a planet a few light-*minutes* away, just to see things at best on the scale of an extremely large mountain. For millions of light years, and things on the scale of a T. rex, you realize you have to scale things up by an almost unfathomable amount even before you reach for the calculator.

Bonus microwave tower photo: Western Union Tenleytown Tower, Washington, DC, 2020.
The first commercial terrestrial microwave network wasn't actually AT&T, but rather Western Union (the telegraph/telegram company).
A few remnants of the network survive. This hexagonal concrete tower, built in 1947 down an alley in Tenleytown, Washington, DC, was part of the first experimental link in the network. The cupola of the tower is actually a plexiglass radome concealing microwave antennas.
