Explanation:
The Arecibo radio
telescope is currently the largest single-dish telescope
in the world. First opening in 1963, this 305 meter (1000 foot)
radio telescope resides in a natural valley of Puerto Rico. The
Arecibo
telescope has been used for
many astronomical
research projects, including searches and
studies of pulsars, and
mapping atomic and molecular gas in the
Galaxy and the
universe. As the Arecibo dish
can also be used to send
radio waves, it has bounced and recorded radiation off of planets in our
Solar System,
and has even
broadcast
messages to areas of the Galaxy that might contain intelligent
extra-terrestrial life. Any person in the world may use the telescope,
providing their
proposal
is selected by a review committee.
