ALMA Services Affected by Cyberattack | Last Saturday, October 29, at 6:14 AM, the ALMA observatory in Chile suffered a cyberattack on its computer systems, forcing the suspension of astronomical observations and the public website.

Meet the EU ALMA Regional Center Network! Last week, we convened in the Bavarian Alps for the first All-hands meeting in 3 years! Also, it was great to have @almaobs director Sean Dougherty with us!
Do you know why they all have that funny heart hanging from their neck? 🤎💙💜

10/ @almaobs has opened a new window to study the interstellar medium at high redshift. Earlier this year, a special symposium at the European Astronomical Society meeting reviewed the latest results in this field, and Hatziminaoglou tell us all about it.

ALMA makes use of the mathematical operation called Fourier Transform to make images of astronomical objects but, how does it really work? You can watch this short video (youtu.be/h9_QjAst8b4) where two astronomers from the Nordic ARC-node explain it to you using LEGOs!

Combining @almaobs images of the disk around the star Elias 2-27 that were taken at different frequencies, astronomers understood that the spiral arms in the disk are due to gravitational instabilities:
