Plowing snow at ALMA
No matter if it's snow or sun, telescope staff are working to keep the telescopes operational. Here at the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a snowplough-equipped truck moves snow during a snow storm on Chile's Chajnantor Plateau. Behind the plow are some of the 66 antennas that make up ALMA.
