Using ALMA’s exceptionally sharp vision, astronomers have uncovered rings, gaps, and cavities in extremely compact disks ...

A remarkably detailed image obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) reveals the uneven surface of Betelgeuse, the famous red supergiant in the constellation Orion. The ...

Astronomers have captured the central region of our Milky Way in a striking new image using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), unveiling a complex network of cosmic gas filaments ...

New study identifies a long-sought transition zone where infalling gas becomes a rotating disk. Every planet — including everyone in the Solar System — was born inside a rotating disk of gas and dust ...

Astronomers have used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to map, for the first time, the mass distribution of the gas and dust clumps from which new stars are born—the so-called ...

ALMA and JWST observations unveil unexpected details of rapid growth in a faint, newborn "grape-like" galaxy, similar to galaxies in the early universe following the Big Bang Utilizing Atacama Large ...

An international team of astronomers, including researchers from ALMA, has discovered a spectacular Einstein Cross in the distant universe that reveals the hidden presence of dark matter. Observations ...

Astronomers found a rich molecular reservoir in the heart of an active star-forming galaxy with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Among eight clouds identified at the center of ...

Ever since ALMA captured the striking image of HL Tau in 2014, revealing intricate rings and gaps in a disk around a newborn star, astronomers have sought to understand how such complex structures ...

For the first time, astronomers have captured images of a star other than the Sun in enough detail to track the motion of bubbling gas on its surface. The images of the star, R Doradus, were obtained ...

At simultaneous press conferences around the world, including at the ALMA observatory offices in Santiago, Chile, astronomers have unveiled the first image of the supermassive black hole at the center ...

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has once again demonstrated its unparalleled ability to push the boundaries of astronomical observation. An international team of astronomers ...
