The Arecibo Observatory is NO MORE:
After more than 50 years, the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico has collapsed. The observatory was home to breakthrough discoveries like the first-ever exoplanet and ice on the surface of mercury. It was even the shooting location of the movie GoldenEye
The dish was made out of 40,000 aluminum reflecting panels in a 1,000 ft or 305-meter inverted dome. Last month a second of the 12 supporting cables snapped and engineers were forced to condemn the observatory. Today (December 3rd) another support cable snapped and the observatory came crumbling down.
This was our second Youtube #Short. We're still playing around with what kind of content we want to make with them, so be sure to let us know what you think in the description below.
