ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array)

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is a group of radio telescopes located in the Atacama Desert of Chile. It consists of 66 antennas working together to observe the universe in millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths, which are crucial for studying cold cosmic objects like dust clouds and gas in space. By collecting data from multiple telescopes, ALMA can create detailed images and gather information about stars, galaxies, and even the early universe. Its high altitude and dry climate make it one of the best places on Earth for astronomical research.
