ALMA: What We've Learned from One of the Best Telescopes on Earth

The video discusses the capabilities and discoveries of the ALMA telescope, located in Chile's Atacama Desert. ALMA's high sensitivity allows it to observe millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths, making it instrumental in confirming exoplanets around Fomu Haut and exploring ancient galaxies. It has provided insights into star formation and the glowing nature of Lyman Alpha blobs. ALMA's observations have significantly advanced our understanding of the universe, revealing details invisible to other telescopes.
