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
