Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico will not be rebuilt

Oct. 14 (UPI) -- The National Science Foundation said Friday that it won't rebuild the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, and instead pans to build a STEM-focused education center.
The center would expand upon existing education and outreach opportunities, and is expected to open in 2023, the NSF said in a statement.
The NSF is soliciting proposals to manage "the education, STEM research, and outreach aspects of the center."
The observatory once was home to the world's most powerful radio telescope, but it collapsed in December 2020.
