ALMA Nears Completion
In this photo taken from a neighboring extinct volcano, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array is nearly complete. Here, at 16,500 feet up in the Chilean Andes, 66 of the most complex radio telescopes on Earth will combine their radio views for the first time in late 2013. In this photo from December 2012, the array has 48 antennas.
