Arecibo Observatory - Receiver Detail
Detail of the receiver structure of the Arecibo Radio Telescope.
To get a sense of scale of this massive structure, look on the left side of the Gregorian reflector (spherical structure) - notice the two "balconies" and doors on the lower half.
The arched structure is 93 M long - just under one football field in length! It all hangs 500' over the reflector dish.
