The NSF presented a crystal clear video with the recent collapse of the famous Arecibo observatory in Puerto Rico.
The famous radiotelescope of Arecibo is located near the city of the same name in Puerto Rico. It is essentially identical to the Arecibo Observatory, which is currently operated by the company SRI International after an agreement with the National Science Foundation (National Science Foundation) of the USA.
It is a giant construction με διάμετρο 305 μέτρα, και η αποστολή του για 57 έτη, ήταν η εξερεύνηση alien bodies, such as asteroids, that could threaten Earth. Because of its impressive appearance, this radio telescope has been featured in motion pictures and television productions.
The radio telescope was damaged by Hurricane Maria in 2017. Two cables broke, one in August 2020 and another in November 2020, when it was announced that the radio telescope was decommissioned and gradually dismantled as its repair was deemed unprofitable and financially unprofitable.
The result was to collapse on December 1, 2020. The news was not shocking until NSF presented the video of the collapse, which is crystal clear, taken by several surveillance cameras with low frame resolution.
As you will see from the impressive video, the remaining cables started to collapse gradually and finally the whole construction fell into the plate. Fortunately, no one was injured.
