A new telescope has been innovated for further exploration into space. The "ALMA" is used to study formation of planets in a distant solar system. It will help better the understanding of the process. It is currently located in the Atacama desert in the South American continent, Chile. This large telescope is
16,500 feet tall and contains 66 dishes spaced across 16 km( 10 mi ) of the desert. The installation is uniquely suited for highly detailed images between the infrared and radio waves.
The image is of a star located about 450 light years away.
