Arecibo Observatory Revisited

Last week, I suggested that, during my hiatus, you might find something of interest on the blog’s long list post topics. If the Arecibo Observatory got your attention--its reflector was damaged last August and the platform collapsed this week--I thought I’d help. I collected data for my M.S. thesis there in the 1960s and, years later, blogged about or mentioned the site several times.

Here are links to four blog posts, all from 2011:
