The Arecibo radio telescope is set to be decommissioned and demolished after a couple of cable failure left it in a state of impending total collapse. https://nu.federati.net/url/278123 [www theverge com]
I visited a couple of years ago. It is truly an amazing place. Because the area is sort of remote, and because of the size of the dish, the #Arecibo radio telescope had unparalleled clarity and strength of reception. Goldstone is a wonderful facility, but it isn’t the same.
