Earth's largest telescope set for switch on - and it could reveal where we came from

Earth's largest telescope set for switch on - and it could reveal where we came from | Mail Online: "It looks like it belongs in a science fiction film but this ‘time machine’ could provide us with the facts about where we came from.

Under construction: Four of the first ALMA antennas at the Array Operations Site (AOS), located at 5000 metres altitude on the Chajnantor plateau, in the II Region of Chile

To be switched on today, the Atacama Large Millimeter Array, or ALMA, is the world’s most powerful telescope."
