 From Deutsche Welle:

Puerto Rico: Massive Arecibo Observatory telescope collapses

      The structure's demise was sudden, though it has been
      deteriorating for several months. The telescope's collapse
      brings to an end 57 years of astronomical work.

December 1, 2020

A giant telescope at Puerto Rico's Arecibo Observatory that had
been deteriorating since August collapsed on Tuesday, officials
said.
.............................................................
The telescope also gained fame after being used in the 1995 James
Bond film "GoldenEye" starring Pierce Brosnan.
