View from one of the three pylons suspending the Arecibo receiverThe Arecibo radar site in Puerto Rico includes the world's largest -- and most sensitive -- single-dish radio telescope, measuring some 305 meters in diameter and set in a natural depression in the mountains.

Below: The TING model shown beneath the Arecibo ISR graph shows the supercomputer simulation for the same time and region of the sky.
