Two men ascend in a gondola to the Arecibo Observatory scaffolding 492 ft above the ground. The Gregorian Chamber on the left was 6 stories tall.

I had to turn down an invitation to speak at #AreciboObservatory last fall for mental health reasons. I still hope to go and speak to the astronomers and staff and students there when travel is safe again. We mustn’t turn our back on them.
