Summary

At a towering 5000-meter altitude in the Chilean Andes, the ALMA Array stands as the world's fastest data processor ever built, housing colossal antennas and a sophisticated correlator system. This massive facility is managed as an international partnership of ESO, NSF, NINS, Canada, NSTC, Taiwan, Korea, and Chile. Its location in the Andes protects it from heavy rain, extreme winds, and heavy snow, allowing astronomers to observe stars and galaxies from the highest point on Earth.
