74: Vale Arecibo
from syzygy Hosted by Chris Stewart
In this rather delayed episode, we say farewell to an old friend: the Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico, tragically destroyed at the start of December 2020 after 57 years of solid service. Wiping a fond tear from her eye, Emily recalls the scientific highlights and cultural importance of this great telescope dish. Syzygy Merch! Get it at the store. Help us make Syzygy even better!
