Astronomy, Discover the Alma Telescope
The ALMA or Atacama Large Millimeter/Sub-millimeter Array is a powerful radio telescope observatory. It directly images the formation of planets and probes the first stars and galaxies. With 66 high precision antennas, the ALMA has unprecedented sensitivity and resolution, providing detailed views of distant objects in space. Located in Chile, South America, it is an international astronomy facility operated by countries from Europe, North America, East Asia, and the Republic of Chile. The ALMA explores the physics of the cold universe at an altitude of 5,000 meters on the Chajnantor plateau.

With its high sensitivity and resolution, the ALMA provides detailed views of distant objects in space. Its location on the Chajnantor plateau at an altitude of 5,000 meters was chosen for its requirement of a high and dry site for millimeter wavelength operations.
