Diego Maradona aged only 60. Genius combined with self destruction, but he was one of the very best.

Second that, I watched him score from the centre circle when he was at BOCA Juniors way back just after the whistle blew. Was it Italia 90 when ran to the camera off his titsπŸ€” Anyway, sad loss for football.

Should of put this in 'On this day thread🀷‍♂️ 2005: George Best died aged 59πŸ˜’

'The' best. That second goal against England is so sublime I don't care about the handball.

Messi might be more skilful, Ronaldo more driven but Maradona had both qualities and delivered in the big games regardless of how strong his support cast was.

Arecibo Telescope, Arecibo Observatory, Arecibo, Puerto Rico.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arecibo_Observatory

The telescope was damaged by Hurricane Maria in 2017 and was affected by earthquakes in 2019 and 2020. Two cable breaks, one in August 2020 and a second in November 2020, threatened the structural integrity of the support structure for the suspended platform and damaged the dish. Due to uncertainty over the remaining strength of the other cables supporting the suspended structure, and the risk of collapse owing to further failures making repairs dangerous, the NSF announced on November 19, 2020, that it would decommission and dismantle the telescope, with the radio telescope and LIDAR facility remaining operational. Before it could be decommissioned, however, one of the telescope's receiver's support towers broke in half, sending the entire receiver and its supported structure collapsing into the dish on December 1, 2020.

First light: November 1, 1963
Collapsed: December 1, 2020

She was 57 years old.
