English/Español: Rubio Joins Blumenthal and Colleagues in Recognizing Scientific Contributions of Arecibo Telescope
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Ed Markey (D-MA), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Rick Scott (R-FL) introduced a bipartisan resolution (S. Res. 467) to recognize the significant scientific, educational, and economic contributions made by the Arecibo Observatory telescope in Puerto Rico. The University of Central Florida operated the telescope from 2018-2020. For more than five decades, the Arecibo Telescope was the world’s largest single-aperture telescope. Unfortunately, it collapsed one year ago this week.
Over its 57 years in operation, the Arecibo Telescope significantly advanced STEM education and played a vital role within the scientific community. The Senate resolution recognizes the loss of this important scientific instrument for the research community and the important role the telescope played in advancing the studies of space and atmospheric sciences, radar astronomy and planetary sciences, astronomy, and astrophysics. The resolution encourages the National Science Foundation (NSF), the current owner of the Arecibo Observatory, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), to work with other agencies to determine the most appropriate way to replace the scientific capabilities lost at the observatory, utilizing new state-of-the-art technologies at the site.
A similar resolution was introduced by U.S. Representative Jenniffer González-Colón (R-PR) in the House.
Washington, D.C. — Los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Ed Markey (D-MA), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) y Rick Scott (R-FL) presentaron una resolución bipartidista para reconocer las importantes contribuciones científicas, educativas y económicas del telescopio del Observatorio de Arecibo en Puerto Rico. La Universidad del Centro de la Florida operó el telescopio entre el 2018 y el 2020. Durante más de cinco décadas, el Telescopio de Arecibo fue el telescopio de apertura única más grande del mundo. Desafortunadamente, colapsó hace un año esta semana.
Durante sus 57 años de funcionamiento, el telescopio de Arecibo avanzó significativamente en temas educativos de las ciencias, la tecnología, la ingeniería y matemáticas. El telescopio de Arecibo desempeñó un trabajo vital dentro de la comunidad científica. La resolución del Senado reconoce la pérdida de este importante instrumento científico para la comunidad investigadora y el importante trabajo que desempeñó en el avance de los estudios de las ciencias espaciales y atmosféricas, la astronomía de radar y las ciencias planetarias, al igual que en temas de la astronomía y la astrofísica. La resolución insta a la Fundación Nacional de Ciencias, el actual propietario del Observatorio de Arecibo, y a la Administración Nacional de Aeronáutica y del Espacio a trabajar con otras agencias para continuar sus estudios para determinar la forma más adecuada de reemplazar las capacidades científicas que se perdieron en el observatorio, utilizando nuevas tecnologías.
La representante Jenniffer González-Colón (R-PR) presentó una resolución similar en la Cámara de los Representantes al principio de esta semana.
