Summary

[edit]
Description The <a href="http://www.naic.edu/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Arecibo Observatory</a> is most famous for being one of the scenes in the 007 GoldenEye movie. More importantly, this is the largest radio telescope ever built, with a 305 meter spherical reflector. This is the place that collects data for the <a href="http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">SETI@Home</a> project, and where many important scientific discoveries have been made. There was a big scare that the NSF would stop funding the observatory and it would have to close down in 2011; fortunately this seems to have been reversed! (Jun 18, 2010)
