ALMA- Atacama large Millimeter/millimeter Array.

February 15, 2023

A research team from Italy has detected an elusive black galaxy, dubbed ‘invisible galaxy’ using ALMA.
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is an astronomical interferometer of 66 radio telescopes in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile, which observe electromagnetic radiation at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths.
It studies light from some of the coldest objects in the Universe.
This light has wavelengths of around a millimetre, between infrared light and radio waves.
- Light at these wavelengths comes from some of the earliest and most distant galaxies in the Universe.
ALMA is an international collaboration including teams from Europe, Japan, US, Canada, Chile etc.
