Seems rather far fetched that something like that could happen by natural process. Marvin Martian's Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator was apparently a little more impressive than Duck Dodgers thought.

The civilization utilized all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum for communication, active planetary astronomy, and perhaps even called out to the neighboing stars to see if another civilization of equal or greater technological advancement existed. "They" were listening. There are no Martians. Fast forward to present day. The new kids on the Sun's block utilize all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum for anything and everything, and have called out to whoever or whatever might be out there... Sleep well. --K
