Alma Observatory

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Observatory is a powerful astronomical facility located in Chile's Atacama Desert. It consists of 66 high-precision antennas that work together to observe distant galaxies, stars, and other cosmic phenomena in millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. ALMA helps scientists uncover the structure and formation of the universe, offering insights into the early stages of star and planet formation. Its unique location at high altitude provides clear skies and minimal interference, making it one of the world’s leading instruments for studying the cold universe.
