The dish at Arecibo Observatory has been destroyed by the instrument platform collapsing into it. It had already been declared unsalvageable after critical load-bearing cable failures.

Three photos from my trip there in 2006.

Arecibo Arecibo2 Arecibo3

I will be raising a glass in Arecibo's honour tonight.

Last night [livejournal.com profile] imyril's other half showed me this photo, which he took in Puerto Rico in late 2005.

In the full version, [livejournal.com profile] imyril is visible. I've cropped her out because she doesn't put photos of herself on the intertubes.

Anyway, on being shown the photo, my thought process went like this.

"Oh, I remember being there! San Juan, at the fort. Dang, [livejournal.com profile] imyril looks good there. But whodat by the lamppost next to her? She's kind of a hottie, but she needs a haircut. I sympathise with that last bit. Story of my li--HOLY SHIT THAT'S ME."

TRUE STORY, YO

(I'm still processing that this was taken more than ten years ago)
