Browsing: ALMA
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is one of the most advanced astronomical observatories on Earth, located high in Chile’s Atacama Desert. Comprising 66 high-precision antennas, ALMA observes the universe in millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths—ideal for studying the coldest, most distant, or dust-shrouded regions of space. From probing the formation of stars and planets to examining the chemistry of distant galaxies, ALMA provides astronomers with an unparalleled window into the early universe and the processes shaping cosmic evolution.
