This live camera captures the ALMA observatory on the Chajnantor Plateau in northern Chile's Atacama Desert—one of the world's premier sites for millimeter and submillimeter astronomy. The view shows dozens of massive white radio dishes arrayed across the high-altitude desert landscape, working together to observe some of the universe's most distant and earliest galaxies, star-forming regions, and planetary systems. The Atacama's extreme aridity and thin atmosphere make it ideal for this sensitive radio astronomy, and the clear skies visible in this stream are a key reason ALMA was built here. Watch in real time as these instruments scan the cosmos and discover the universe's secrets.
