Alma telescope

What is the primary goal of expanding the telescope's capabilities?

• To reduce the size of the telescope.

• To increase the bandwidth by a factor of four.

• To make the telescope more portable.

• To decrease the number of images taken.

What kind of images will the telescope be able to produce with its enhanced capabilities?

• Images of Earth's weather patterns.

• Pictures of objects in the universe.

• Close-ups of the moon's surface.

• Images of microscopic organisms.

How much more detail will the enhanced telescope capabilities provide?

• Half the amount of detail.

• The same amount of detail.

• Twice the amount of detail.

• A quarter of the detail.

What range of scientific understanding will be enhanced by the telescope's improved capabilities?

• Only the study of Earth's atmosphere.

• From the origins of galaxies to the complexity of molecules.

• Primarily the study of nearby planets.

• Only the observation of black holes.

What is the main interaction between the maintenance team and astronomers?

• They discuss daily weather forecasts.

• They collaborate on observation projects.

• They share lunch breaks.

• They exchange travel stories.

What is crucial for astronomers to successfully carry out their observation projects?

• Having a specific type of car radio.

• Ensuring the maximum number of specific receivers are operational.

• Changing the telescope's physical location frequently.

• Relying on old observation data.

What must the team ensure when astronomers change observation frequencies?

• That the telescopes are turned off.

• That those frequencies are covered and operational.

• That new telescopes are built.

• That the data is immediately deleted.

How has the process of deciphering images changed with the new technology?

• It has become more difficult and time-consuming.

• It requires less effort and is much easier.

• It is now impossible to decipher images.

• It has remained the same.

What do the new observations help scientists understand about solar systems?

• How to create new stars.

• How solar systems like ours are formed.

• The exact number of planets in every galaxy.

• The temperature of distant stars.

What two key factors contribute to the telescope's ability to make new discoveries?

• Its large size and low cost.

• Its remote location and minimal staff.

• Its very good telescopes and great sensitivity.

• Its old technology and slow processing.
