  Location of Atacama Large Millimeter Array | |
Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) adalah teleskop radio astronomi interferometer di gurun Atacama Chili utara. Situs yang sangat penting untuk operasi gelombang panjang milimeter, array telah dibangun di dataran tinggi Chajnantor di ketinggian 5.000 meter, dekat Llano de Chajnantor Observatory dan Atacama Pathfinder Experiment.
ALMA diharapkan dapat memberikan wawasan tentang kelahiran bintang pada alam semesta awal dan pencitraan rinci bintang lokal dan planet formasi.
