Arecibo, Puerto Rico: A 305-meter telescope collapsed on December 1, 2020

For 53 years, Arecibo, in Puerto Rico, was home to the world’s largest single-dish telescope, with a mirror 305 meters in diameter. Its platform collapsed on December 1, 2020, without causing any injuries. The Arecibo site now houses an educational center open to the public by ticket. On December 1, 2020, at approximately 7:55 a.m. (Puerto Rico time), the Arecibo telescope platform collapsed into the crater above it, where it had stood since 1963. No one was injured. The director of the National Science Foundation (NSF), Sethuraman Panchanathan, expressed sadness over the situation but was grateful that no one had been harmed. In Arecibo, in northern Puerto Rico, this collapse brings to a close a story that began in 1960. That year, teams entered a natural depression in the karst region to install a giant mirror there.
