[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 16533673, member: 51947"] At 8am local time this morning, the 900-ton instrument platform came crashing down. Apparently since Thanksgiving they were losing roughly on cable a day. No pictures yet, but no one was hurt. It's just a very sad day to lose such a valuable/powerful tool. Unlike the 500m radio antenna in China that recently surpassed Arecibo as the largest in the world, Arecibo could actively send radar waves at objects. That's why they used it to send the SETI message. The Chinese telescope is passive and cannot be modified to accommodate active hardware. Edit, some pictures are leaking [ATTACH=full]1675377[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
