The Arecibo Observatory is an observatory in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, also known as the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC). It is owned by the US National Science Foundation (NSF).
The main instrument of the observatory was the Arecibo Telescope, a 305 m (1,000 ft) spherical reflector dish built into a natural sinkhole, a cable-mount steerable receiver mounted 150 m (492 ft) above the dish, and several radar transmitters for emitting signals. Completed in 1963, the Arecibo Telescope was the world's largest single-aperture telescope for 57 years, surpassed in July 2016 by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) in China. The Arecibo Telescope suffered catastrophic structural failure on December 1, 2020 after two cable breaks in the previous months. The Observatory also includes a radio telescope, a Lidar facility, and a visitor's center which are expected to remain operational after assessing the damage from the main telescope collapse. The observatory was an icon of the Puerto Rican space and science industry.

Just checked and it only loads when you are a few feet from the mod. See pics [img]https://i.imgur.com/tRptbZR.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/D0LS2GB.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/UBbStAo.png[/img]
Maybe you can improve. Either way is better than having nothing such as with default.

I have detected that the cables that hold the central structure are not visible and that the model is not visible from a certain distance, if not only when you get very close to it.
It would be nice to fix these details in future versions.
Thank you.
