Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA)

The Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) is a global astronomical project located in the Chilean Andes, composed of 66 high-precision antennas. Designed to study the universe in millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths, ALMA helps scientists observe cold gas and dust, which are crucial for understanding star formation, galaxies, and even the origins of planets. By working together as a powerful telescope, these antennas can capture detailed images and data from distant cosmic objects. ALMA plays a key role in advancing our knowledge of the cosmos, revealing insights into the early universe and the complex processes shaping it.
