Arecibo Telescope Collapse

Arecibo Telescope Collapse

A massive radio telescope made famous as the backdrop for a pivotal scene in the James Bond film "GoldenEye" and other Hollywood hits were found suddenly out of commission after cables mysteriously snapped and smashed into the facility's main dish. Jeff Glor hears from the Arecibo Observatory's director about what scientists are doing to get the telescope operational.

Arecibo Telescope Collapse

This was one great scientific instrument. Starting in 1963, the 305-meters across Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico USA reigned as the largest single-dish radio telescope in the world for over 50 years. Among numerous firsts and milestones, data from Arecibo has been used to measure the spin of Mercury, map the surface of Venus, discover the first planets outside of our Solar System, verify the existence of gravitational radiation, search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and, reportedly, locate hidden military radar by tracking their reflections from the Moon. Past its prime and in the process of being decommissioned, the Arecibo Telescope suffered a catastrophic structural collapse early this month, as seen in the featured composite video.
