Space’s final frontiers will be observed via Chilean observatory

Scientists from around the globe have gathered in Chile’s Atacama Desert in order to construct the world’s most precise view of space. Known as ALMA, (Atacama Large Millimeter Array), the project involves constructing a network of 64 telescopes and the Atacama Desert is ideal for such an endeavor since its climate has very low humidity and clear skies all year long.
