Description

We have already referred to the 66 antennas that make up ALMA, but how do they operate as one telescope? In this episode, Giorgio Siringo, Senior Radio-Frequency Engineer, will explain how interferometry works. Furthermore, let's discover how one supercomputer synchronizes and synthesizes the light received through the antennas to constitute only one giant telescope.
