@ProfAbelMendez De casualidad sabe quién podría tener esa información? Me encantaría hacer algún tipo de modelo 3D como recurso histórico o para AR/VR.

@rubesrodriguez Si, el observatorio tenía un LIDAR para estudiar la atmosfera.

Today is the final collapse of the Arecibo Observatory. In 2020, it lost its iconic 305-meter dish. Now, all the remaining instruments and computers will be closing down. Only a few people would be left there to transition to an educational center in the following months. 😕

@ProfAbelMendez @ProfAbelMendez había escuchado que alguien había capturado al observatorio usando LiDAR. Sabe si existe algo así?

We already saved the AO software library, and all our data with observation logs in a local computer running IDL. It works! We are now copying all the AO websites with documentation. Our students need a server to run everything too. phl.upr.edu/support
