Arecibo is definitely dead now....

I know it was announced it was not to be repaired after recent damage and would be decommissioned, looks like it's definitely all over after the overhead receiver platform crashed through the dish today.

What a shame.

I read an article last week regarding the decommissioning. The site managers hoped to dismantle the receiver before it fell, as they were concerned about collateral damage. This article[^] provides more detail, and states that no injuries have been reported.

You think it's a coincidence that it happened right after those metal monoliths started appearing? The aliens don't want us knowing what's up. :laugh:

Ooh, good. Another conspiracy theory. Love it.

And, not even politically motivated.

Somewhere, I saw that China has or is building a much larger telescope for this.

Just give it time, someone will manage to make some sort of connection.
