🔭 A Glimpse into the Future: ALMA’s High-Tech Antennas! 🔭

This image might seem like it’s straight out of a sci-fi movie or a video game, but it’s real! It shows one of the many antennas of the ALMA radio interferometer being transported on a specialized vehicle.

ALMA is comprised of 66 antennas, most of which have a diameter of 12 meters. These antennas work together as a single, massive telescope. They can be positioned in various configurations across 192 pads, with distances ranging from 150 meters to 16 kilometers.

When antennas are placed close together, they are highly sensitive to detecting extended sources. Conversely, when they are farther apart, they can observe incredibly fine details. This transporter is moving one of these vital antennas to its new location.

"China's Chang'e 6 mission return capsule has been transferred to Beijing and opened to access its precious cargo — samples from the moon's mysterious far side."

"It shouldn’t be surprising that the war on terror ended up making us chronically terrified. That’s the track record for these things. Even back in the 1990s we knew that. The war on poverty generated an obscenely inflated welfare underclass while systematically slowing economic growth, thereby generating poverty twice over. The war on drugs led to a society of drug addicts, in which every fifth person is on at least one kind of pill, and most of the rest are self-medicating in other ways. Instead of weed (legal now, in any case), we have fentanyl and meth. Victory!"

"It’s quite shocking what’s happening in American politics right now, but only because processes long buried ‘behind the scenes’ have come to the forefront like never before. The Democrats and establishment in general are panicking amid the crisis to extricate Biden from his roost."

"The fact that a secret camarilla of donors (read: billionaire oligarchs) is meeting behind closed doors to decide on the presidential candidacy of the United States tells you everything you need to know about how the country actually functions, who holds the real power, and whose interests are really at the center of all political decisions."
