Our family visited Arecibo Observatory to see the 1,000-foot radio-telescope constructed in a sinkhole in the karst region of western Puerto Rico during a vacation in April 2008. The colossal radio-telescope and its visitors center offered a fascinating exploration of space for my two science-minded kids.
So when we heard that it collapsed last year, we booked tickets as soon as the facility reopened to see how it looks now. The difference is incredible!

The Arecibo Observatory is a facility of the National Science Foundation operated under a cooperative agreement by the University of Central Florida.

Why are we doing this? Because life is short and the world is big, and we’re navigating it with a messy suitcase as we explore as much as we can. Join us on the adventure!
