The comeback of Arecibo

 

I just saw this article that the government of Puerto Rico is going to recover and refurbish the heavily damaged Arecibo radio astronomy telescope.

Fallen alien-hunting Arecibo Observatory will be rebuilt as Puerto Rico commits $8 million to its reconstruction

I'm not sure where they're going to get the money, but that's good news for science.

'The government of Puerto Rico is convinced that the collapse of the radio telescope brings a great opportunity to redesign it taking into consideration the lessons learned and the recommendations from the scientific community to make it relevant for decades,' said Vázquez Garced, through La Fortaleza's official website.

Let's all hope it works.
