The collapse was on Tuesday morning, but yesterday the NSF made video of the catastrophic collapse available, and so many viewers asked I continue my long tradition of 'coping by analyzing failure' and document what I see in this footage. It's hard to watch because this magnificent structure has always been part of the world of astronomy for me.

For those that feel moved into action a starting point may well be this petition ask the White House to consider rebuilding the facility.

Juan R Costa's images of the structure after collapse are available on the NotiCel site, they're the best images of this:
