The Arecibo Observatory has put out its last newsletter.

As you are likely aware, the Arecibo Observatory ceased science operations on August 14, 2023. The facility is expected to transition to the Arecibo Center for STEM Education and Research (ASCER) in the future. This will be the final newsletter shared with the Arecibo science community produced under the management by the University of Central Florida. We hope that the content of these newsletters has been as informative, educational, and inspiring as the AO research and education programs that the newsletters were designed to highlight.

Why has this powerful scientific tool been allowed to fall into disrepair, and abandoned? We will not say that it is “indispensible and irreplaceable”, but we have a very difficult time envisioning what could replace it, other than facilities on the surface of Luna (preferably the far side), or the giant orbiting dish of Project Cyclops ― which, we should emphasize, not only do not yet exist, but are not yet being seriously contemplated, planned, and prepared for by world space and scientific research bodies.

Fun Fact Fridaaaaay!

Today You Learned about the Arecibo Telescope and Observatory:

Until the completion of FAST in China in 2016, the Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico was the world’s largest radio telescope, and it was completed back in 1963. Aside from looking like the awesomest place to skateboard ever of all time, the telescope used radar to observe objects in space. And it made several discoveries, including the true length of Mercury’s rotation period, the detection of Comet Encke, and the first direct image of an asteroid. It was also a major part of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Project, with it beaming a pixelated message into space to see if anyone would pick up and answer back. Probably unsurprisingly, there are tons of stories about UFOs above Puerto Rico.

The University of Utah tells me the original message was in black and white though.

Also! There was an attached museum with tons of cool science exhibits about astronomy.

Sadly, in the early 2000’s, NASA decided to cut funding to the telescope. There were plenty of advocates, and it continued to operate for over a decade…until it was heavily damaged in 2017 during Hurricane Maria, and in 2020, before much could be done to save it, the entire thing collapsed. There are efforts to replace it and preserve parts of the old telescope, but I don’t know how that’s going.

Also, it appeared in a James Bond movie.

Pierce Brosnan didn’t actually climb that thing though; reportedly it was a stunt double because in real life Brosnan is afraid of heights (something he’s a bit sensitive about, I think).

🇵🇷 John, Mom, and I spent the afternoon of Palm Sunday exploring the cliffs at Arecibo. There were lots of high waves as always. From one of the arches, the controversial statue of Christopher Columbus can be seen. In the end, we concluded our day with swimming at Playa Mar Chiquita. Tomorrow, the three of us will be doing maintenance work at San Pablo. 🌊

My try at painting Arecibo while it was still functional. The ellipse is too high so I may change that later and I still have to paint the ropes and stuff, but it‘s ok for the time I spent on it. And it was a fun study break.

O famoso Observatório de Arecibo, em Porto Rico, desmoronou completamente em 2020. Agora, os cientistas que estão passando por suas observações finais oferecem um novo e importante relatório de asteroides.

The way they neglected that observatory, that shouldn't have happened. Growing up, most of the music weirdos I knew were from Arecibo.
