ALMA from above ground

This photo taken of the ALMA array by the "Wings of Science", shows the extent of this magnificent man-made shrine to knowledge.

ALMA is the largest ground-based astronomy project in existence, and is comprised of a giant array of 12-m submillimetre quality antennas, with baselines of several kilometres. An additional, compact array of 7-m and 12-m antennas complements the main array. The ALMA project is an international collaboration between Europe, East Asia and North America in cooperation with the Republic of Chile.
