Arecibo telescope Collapsed on the 1 of December 2020, and footage of the collapse was released by the NSF allowing us to break down these events. In this video, the Arecibo observatory collapse was analysed, showing that this event was not a single failure but a series of actions that lead up to the final catastrophic collapse. This video analyses the collapse in detail break down each event. #Arecibo_Observatory was one of the most iconic scientific instruments in the world and was the first to detect gravitational waves by observing binary pulsars. The Arecibo Telescope was also the largest radar telescope in the world by around 20 times, this will be a big loss to the scientific community. it is not often that we are able to observe such a catastrophic collapse so close, this gives us a unique insight into the event that led up to the demise of the Arecibo observatory.

I have a wide variety of projects from very small to some of the biggest in the southern hemisphere. I have a passion for good structural design and teaching/mentoring. This channel is to share my passion for engineering and provide entertaining short clips on: - tips for young engineers on progressing their careers - anyone needing a refresher on any design element - design approaches - Review past engineering failures to improve structural knowledge 📧LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendan-hasty-48a40a3b/ 👍Support the channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BrendanHasty 🔴🔴🔴 Disclaimer: Some of the below links are affiliate links as an Amazon Associate and other affiliate programs I'll earn a small commission from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you. 🔴🔴🔴 📚Recommended Books for engineering Communication Try Audible Premium Plus for free https://amzn.to/36B4pm0 up to 2 free books https://kit.co/Brendan_hasty/recommend-structural-engineering-book Concrete Structures Warner https://geni.us/ConStruct Steel Designers' Handbook https://geni.us/SteelHand Soft is the new Hard https://geni.us/SoftHard Also on Audible How to Win Friends & Influence People https://geni.us/WinFriend Also on Audible Never Split the Difference: https://geni.us/SplitDiff Also on Audible The Subtle Art of Not Giving a https://geni.us/SubtleArtNF Also on Audible 🎥home office https://kit.co/Brendan_hasty/engineering-home-office MX Master 3 https://geni.us/MXmo Logitech K580 White https://geni.us/LogiK580 Samsung 32 Curved https://geni.us/rAIO Philips 32 4k https://geni.us/32Phillips Zbook Dock https://geni.us/ZDock Zbook https://geni.us/Zbook 🎥Gear and Video Editing https://kit.co/Brendan_hasty/youtube-creator-setup Rode VideoMic Pro+ Microphone https://geni.us/RVMP Neewer 660 LED Video Light https://geni.us/N660 Neewer 480 RGB Led Light https://geni.us/N480 camera Samsung S20 https://geni.us/SS20 🎥Video Editing AMD Ryzen 9 3900X https://geni.us/HVrKeZz MSI Meg X570 https://geni.us/kwY70ua RTX 2080 Super Gaming windforce https://geni.us/O1AC Samsung 970 PRO 1TB https://geni.us/SPR70 Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB https://geni.us/S970Ev Fractal Design Define 7 https://geni.us/FD7B 🎥SEO tool Tubebuddy https://www.tubebuddy.com/BHEngineering Intro: (0:00) History of Arecibo's telescope: (0:51) Construction of Arecibo observatory: (2:31) Events leading up to the Collapse of Arecibo observatory: (2:48) Arecibo telescope Collapse Analysed: (4:31) Final: (10:58)
