(moderation:
I notice the home pages still say in many places that the data from this project is using Arecibo.
Since that telescope was destroyed almost a year ago, shouldn't it's reference to it being a data source be removed from the intro home pages? It served it's science well but it's gone now. The home pages should be telling people what sources are providing the data now. Maybe a short mention of it's prior usefulness.

I imagine you do realise that the data being analysed did come from Arecibo when it was working? Just because the infrastructure isn't supplying new data, it doesn't mean that all the existing data has vanished as well.
Arecibo generated it and researchers will probably be trawling through it for as long as they consider it useful to do so.
