the video you posted at the 23 second mark clearly shows the cable failure.  Its like the cables to that tower are fine then they become blurred as the failure begins.  Again such a scientific loss.

I thought you might like to see this video of why the Arecibo Telescope perished, released today, July 20, 2021.

I have 4 computers of

I have 4 computers of 4 different flavors that have been munching Arecibo* data for about 1 month now, and I am wondering how much longer the data is going to last. Perhaps they will remunch to the same data again looking for different anomalies?

Hi. I was wondering how much

Hi. I was wondering how much longer the current (and last) data from Arecibo is going to last with the current jobs I am running. For my Raspberry Pis, that is the only job they are running. (4 each 24/7). My two windows matching run Arecibo data too, but are munching other data (I think, as I don't KNOW where the data they are munching comes from).

I realize someone _could_ write other jobs to process the same data in a different way though. I have only been doing this (this time) since March, so I don't know how prolific the writers of the munchers are.

Every time they write the program to check for something it leads to something else to check based on the results of the earlier data, in short it could be endless. I read the other day someone took some data and by expanding the search criteria they found ALOT more Black Holes. The easy answer to that is they found those because Einstein already did the heavy lifting by doing the prior search.
