ALMA and artificial satellites (time-lapse)

Time-lapse video of the ALMA antennas performing observations during the Cycle 0 of Early Science Observations in 2011. A couple of artificial satellites can be seen in the beautiful starry sky over the Chajnator plain, the site of ALMA antennas. ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array is the largest astronomical project in existence and is a truly global partnership between the scientific communities of East Asia, Europe and North America with Chile. ESO is the European partner in ALMA.
