Arecibo.
Most would have heard by now that two cables holding the central receiver platform above the 300+ meter diameter dish of the telescope failed and each cable fell into the dish causing extensive damage.
There has been much discussion about repair or just let the poor thing expire.
Last Monday, yesterday, the cable support system failed in total and the entire 900 ton receiver assembly fell 150+ meters into the already damaged dish below.
The Arecibo Radio Observatory has finally passed on and is no more.
