Hurricane Maria did major damage to the Puerto Rican telescope in 2017 that lead to the collapse of this world class iconic radio telescope 3 years later after failing to get funded and maintained. It was the largest for the USA by a long shot at 305 meters. China’s FAST became the largest at 500 meters in 2016. This is Trump’s (2017-2020) legacy for Puerto Rico.
It was featured in Goldeneye and Contact back in the 1990s.
I really liked that dish as a structure, such a shame it was allowed to just waste away.
My parents got to tour it back then when they vacationed in Puerto Rico. They said it was the coolest part of the trip.
It was also featured in Arrival.
