Das Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) musste wegen eines für die Gegend seltenen Schneefalls in "safe mode" gehen.
Rare, Widespread Snow in the Atacama Desert
Aufnahmen der Landsat-Satelliten der NASA zeigen ein ungewöhnliches Bild:
Part of northern Chile transforms from bare to snow-covered in this image after winter storms in August 2026 by the NASA-USGS Landsat satellites. NASA Earth Observatory images by Lauren Dauphin.
It shows a detailed view of the Chajnantor plateau within the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex, home to the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) - one of the planet’s most powerful radio telescopes. As snow and high winds set in, ALMA suspended operations, moving its antennas into a protective survival mode.
