Arecibo in Puerto Rico -high res overlay

Those who see the Arecibo radio telescope for the first time are astounded by the enormousness of the reflecting surface, or radio mirror. The huge "dish" is 305 m (1000 feet) in diameter, 167 feet deep, and covers an area of about twenty acres. The surface is made of almost 40,000 perforated aluminum panels, each measuring about 3 feet by 6 feet, supported by a network of steel cables strung across the underlying karst sinkhole. It is a spherical (not parabolic) reflector

Seems the original Link is down. Edit the downloaded original file and change the URL-Link with this one:

http://www.signale.de/arecibo/pics/A...bservatory.jpg

It should work now.
