In keeping with the expansion of space science, this device created by the Italian scientist Galileo is becoming modern day by day. As far as the modern telescopes installed in different centers of the world so far, the Alma Telescope in the Latin American country of Chile surpasses almost all of them in efficiency and size.
The full name of the ALMA telescope is the Atacama Large Millimeter Array. It is located in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile.
