Mighty maintenance
The mighty dish of an Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) radio telescope is inspected in this shot from the Chajnantor Plateau in Chile. The true scale of the telescope and its 12-metre dish can be judged here, as it towers over the workmen, their truck and a small cherry picker!
