*Event Type*: [[PublicLectures][Lecture and Stargazing]]<br>
*Title*: ALMA: A Revolutionary New View of the Cosmos<br>
*Lecturer*: Nick Scoville<br>
*Position*: Professor<br>
*Institution*: Caltech<br>
*Abstract*:<br>
ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter telescope Array, has just come into operation in Chile. This 
array of 66 linked high-frequency radio telescopes is the most technically challenging telescope 
ever built, now providing views of the skies never before seen and at higher resolution than even the Hubble Space Telescope.  
I will give a travelog to the ALMA site high in the Andes Mountains and discuss some of the exciting 
science discoveries it has already made.
