Scientific paper

The ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) astronomical observatory has taken another step forward and upwards. One of its state-of-the-art antennas was carried for the first time to the 5000m plateau of Chajnantor, in the Chilean Andes, on a custom-built giant transporter. This antenna, a Japanese contribution, weighs about 100 tons and has a diameter of 12 meters, was brought to the high-altitude Array Operations Site, where the extremely dry and rarefied air is ideal for ALMA's observations of the universe.
