That's very sad. That radio telescope has been iconic. I wish they had plans to rebuild, but they don't. It is gone forever.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

This must be a thing.

My granddaughter has a classmate whose name was Emily...then (s)he changed it to Ethan...then to Elliot.  My daughter now refers to him as Ethanelliot.

If a man states an opinion and there's no woman around to hear it, is he still wrong?

I had started subscribing to SKY & TELESCOPE in 1963. The Arecibo Observatory was featured on one of the covers.
