Chile launched a telescope "Alma" giant, which begins its work tomorrow Wednesday in the area of "Andes" desert to take pictures of the birth of stars and the origins of galaxies, starting in step recorded the largest astronomical project the world has ever known so far, which is the most expensive in terms of costs exceed billion euros.
For his part, the project manager Wolfgang Feld, Observatory "ISO" EU in the city of Garching near Munich in southern Germany, starting work the telescope as "like at the moment the transition from the naked eye for the first telescope known rights", pointing out that the telescope, which is known shortcut "Alma" a major international project involving scientists from Europe and North America and Asia, explaining that this telescope consists of 66 telescope is a combined size of stadium official football.
He failed that when I started 16 of these telescopes in action in 2011 was the result of photographs taken by this telescope is better than all the previous results "Vtlscop Alma measure radio waves in the area not to exceed one millimeter, and probably less than that, and scientists are trying behind this telescope to monitor what is known as black rule, a cloud that arise where new stars, which play an important role in the emergence of whole galaxies, "pointing out that this very high millimeter waves very important to penetrate the gas clouds and dust clouds stretching.
Save telescope pain in shape is the final that was running so far Important information where I discovered telescopes, which was composed of shape is the final of Alma small organic molecules of sugar, "this sugar is brick that make up life," as explained Field, adding, "I allowed us assuming the existence of life prevalent in the universe? ".
The Field The telescope Alma held at an altitude of more than five thousand kilometers above sea level in the desert of Chile, noting that "this increase is higher second tallest building at the level of the year and that there are train station somewhere in Tibet is above the this telescope."
And proven Alma telescope in the Chilean desert air because there is very dry, in addition to that this project was needed for an area of not less than 16 kilometers, and the greater the rise was better "and there are not many places in the world possess such characteristics."
He failed because despite the fact that scientists know what will by this telescope giant on science, but it does not rule out surprises when it is started, adding, "It's like the case with astronomer Galileo did not expect to discover moon of Jupiter then surprised more than that ".
It is worth mentioning that more than 500 workers from all over the world in building a telescope pain, described by scientists as a "village of the middle of the desert."
When, telescope starts on Wednesday in the presence of Chilean President Sebastian Pinera, about 100 men would head this task
