Nestling high up in the Chilean Anden, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international partnership of Europe, North America and East Asia in cooperation with the Republic of Chile, is the largest astronomical project in existence. Now, nearing completion, ALMA will definitely change mankinds knowledge about outer space – astrologists call it the largest step within their scientific discipline, designed for deepening the understanding of universe. The single telescope of revolutionary design is composed of 66 high precision antennas located on the Chajnantor plateau, 5000 meters altitude in northern Chile – an odd and apparently uninhabitable scenery with moonlike ambience on ist own.
