It’s not very often that I get to check something off my bucket list that has been on there since I was 13 years old. In 1997, the film adaptation of Carl Sagan’s novel “Contact” was made, with he himself having a hand in the film. The now-destroyed radio telescope, Arecibo, and the science done there in both the movie and real life, was something that always fascinated me. Part of the premise was that SETI had telescope time, and they were doing what they do best, listen for “little green men”. Jodi Foster’s character spurred something in my young scientific mind, and helped generate a life-long love of all things astronomical and cosmic. While the observatory and the visitor center are both closed to the public, I was plenty happy just taking a photo at the gate. 24 years after first watching the movie and now having read the novel, I have finally gotten to check Arecibo Observatory off my bucket list. #bucketlist #radio #radiotelescope #radiowaves #SETI #contact #carlsagan #movie #novel #arecibo #pr #puertorico #joy #nerd #stars #et #jodifoster #science #astronomy #radioastronomy
