Puerto Rico's Arecibo Radio Telescope Suffers Hurricane Damage
Early reports that a secondary dish at the observatory was destroyed by Maria turn out not to be correct, according to a group that helps run the facility.
When Hurricane Maria raked Puerto Rico last week as a Category 4 storm, it cut off electricity and communications island-wide, including at the Arecibo Observatory, one of the world's largest radio telescopes.
Initial reports, received via ham radio, indicated significant damage to some of the facility's scientific instruments.
