The FAST Telescope May Soon Be Detecting Self-Replicating Alien Probe Swarms

During nearly all of its 53-year life, Puerto Rico’s Arecibo Observatory, also known as the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC), was the world’s largest single-aperture telescope and the go-to telescope for searching for signs of intelligent life.

On December 1, 2020, the 900-tonne platform that held most of the instruments of the Arecibo Observatory (AO) at a height of more than 500 feet above the ground came crashing down. People from all walks of life, old and young, scientists and non-scientists, for whom this iconic telescope meant so much, have watched the footage of the collapse in disbelief. Soon after the collapse, students, scientists and the general public began a campaign to rebuild the AO. This is no surprise, as this observatory has been key in making groundbreaking discoveries in the areas of astronomy, planetary and atmospheric sciences, and, crucially, it has had far-reaching public outreach and science education progr ....
