The last antenna of the radiotelescope ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) was delivered earlier this week to the Observatory. It’s a 12-meter-diameter dish produced by the European AEM consortium. Now this astronomical radiointerferometer has all its 66 antennas planned to conduct its scientific research.
