... that Pierre Kaufmann helped install the first radio telescope in Brazil, which was later destroyed by cows? Source: [1] (in Portuguese)

...New enough, just long enough, all sources in Portuguese so AGF. Interesting hook and followed by inline citation to a Portuguese source. No copyvio issues. Awaiting QPQ. Whispyhistory (talk) 08:11, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Whispyhistory: Thanks for the review! I found a few more refs, so have expanded the article a bit more. QPQ now done. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:13, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Destroyed by cows?[edit]

Today's 'Did you know?' states that the planetarium had been 'destroyed by cows'. This seemed unlikely to me, so I looked at the Portuguese source which states (in translation) that 'the equipment's antenna, which is 30 meters high, was destroyed by cows in transit through the park area'. That's slightly different; I think some tweaking of the article is required - and perhaps too of the line in 'Did you know?'. thanks Geopersona (talk) 04:20, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Geopersona: The DYK talks about the radio telescope, not the planetarium. I've clarified this in the article, where it was a bit ambiguous. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 07:45, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
