So David Bowie was right. There really are Spiders from Mars!

I will ask that Ground Control ask Major Tom what he thinks.

Why don’t they ever show an actual photograph of what they Believe they have found.
This is all a joke.
They must be in need of funding is how I take it.

How’d the spider kill the telescope?

... whirling around at least once every 30 milliseconds... How fast do they have to be going to do that?

Because it is so far away it’s just a smudge of light and radio waves. It may not even exist at this time. That’s how long it takes the light to get here.

"Why don’t they ever show an actual photograph of what they Believe they have found. This is all a joke. They must be in need of funding is how I take it." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've seen ignorant FR posts, but yours is a candidate for a new record!
1. "Photographs"? Do you not understand that radio waves and visible light occupy radically different sections of the EM spectrum?
2. Why do FRLuddites always characterize publications of scientific advances as:"They must be in need of funding..."?
3. Do you have any concept of what the Arecibo Telescope looked like -- before it was destroyed in a violent physical collapse? Or its reflector diameter?
The "joke"'s on you...

I clicked on the link, it repeated the same information three times and never seemed to wind up to a clean conclusion.

Good footage of the collapse, and the structure before the collapse, is here:

It is almost better to start at 2:00, and watch through 4:00, which gives a good impression of the huge scale of the instrument. Then go back to the beginning and be seriously impressed by the collapse. Or at least I was.

3. Do you have any concept of what the Arecibo Telescope looked like -- before it was destroyed in a violent physical collapse? Or its reflector diameter? ...was that the one from the James Bond movie GoldenEye?

The antivenin for a Venomous spider star is hard to get and weighs tons for a single drop.
