"In the wake of the mishap that caused the sad (yet spectacular)
collapse of the Arecibo Observatory telescope earlier this month in
Puerto Rico, a plan appears to be emerging to reconstruct one of the
world’s most recognizable instruments for deep space research.
Puerto Rico’s El Nuevo Día news reports that Puerto Rican Governor Wanda
Vázquez Garced has signed an executive order that sets aside $8 million
toward the reconstruction of the enormous single-dish radio telescope.
The order also provides for removal of debris from the Dec. 1 collapse,
and designates the telescope site as a “historic zone,” according to the
report."
