Question

Read the title of the story. How can we connect it to the picture of Arecibo Observatory?

Answer

The title "The Great Silence" can be connected to the Arecibo Observatory through its involvement in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Despite extensive efforts and the observatory's cultural significance, the absence of detected signals contributes to the contemplation of whether there is extraterrestrial intelligence and the concept of "The Great Silence."
