Cardsmiths Space – Galactic Edition – Arecibo #33 – Jade 20/45

Description:
The Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico was one of the most iconic telescopes in astronomy. Before its tragic collapse in 2020, Arecibo contributed groundbreaking discoveries: the first evidence of ice on Mercury, the first detailed radar views of Venus, and even the first detection of a planet outside our solar system. Its vast 1,000-foot dish also played a role in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) and in tracking near-Earth asteroids. Today, Arecibo is slated for rebirth as a science education center, ensuring its legacy continues to inspire future generations.
