BREAKING: the huge telescope at the renowned Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico has collapsed. Last week, officials said it was in danger of collapse & would be closed. Officials, like @Jenniffer2012 rushed to seek money & help to save the beloved telescope. https://t.co/xUmPzYapvr— David Begnaud (@DavidBegnaud) December 1, 2020
Such a shame, iconic and vital for scientific discovery. Hopefully in time it can be replaced with something similar.
I’ll never forget it from the movie contact. Sort of a “sign of the times” that all scientific research is being abandoned in by western capital.
For me it has to be its roles in Goldeneye and The X-Files. And yes, it’s very worrying.
