[View 39+] Iconic Radio Telescope In Puerto Rico

View Images Library Photos and Pictures. The iconic Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico was damaged last week when a large cable fell onto the radio telescope's main reflector dish.We're now learning more about this unfortunate incident, including how long it might take until the beleaguered observatory is back online.During the early morning of Monday August 10, a thick auxiliary cable used to support a metal platform dropped onto the main reflector dish, producing a 100-foot-long gash. The Mineral Moon (NASA/JPL) images was recorded by the Jupiter-bound Galileo spacecraft as it passed near our own large natural satellite in 1992. The pictures were recorded through three spectral filters and combined in an exaggerated false-color scheme to explore the composition of the lunar surface as changes in mineral content produce subtle color differences in reflected light. The end of an era came unexpectedly this week when the iconic Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico collapsed Dec. 1 exactly one month after its 57th birthday. And as it happens, the whole thing was captured in spectacular drone footage that you can watch here right now.
