Threats to CLOSE World's Largest radio-Telescope?
Officals will be visiting the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico shortly to determine weather or not to shut it down with steep budget cuts, was a major instrument for years in deep space exploration and was featured in movie CONTACT and Goldeneye. The NSF who runs the telescope will consider closing it by 2010, but will remain open as tourist attraction. Hey, put the Roswell musem there and combine the two! So Yahoo reports.
