Seeing the Universe in a whole new light

This grey-scale image shows antennas which make up part of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). ALMA will be composed initially of 66 such high precision antennas located on the Chajnantor plateau, 5000 metres altitude in northern Chile.

With ALMA, the eerie luminance of the coldest and most hidden Universe snaps into focus. We behold with vivid clarity what no eye has yet seen.
