A powerful new telescope affording a view of the universe unmatched by most ground-based observatories opened its eyes for the first time on Monday deep in Chile's Atacama desert.

The Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA), a joint project with the United States, European Union, Japan and Chile, officially opened for astronomers after a decade of planning and construction.

ALMA, which is the world's biggest astronomy project, is described as the most powerful millimetre/submillimetre-wavelength telescope in the world and the most complex ground-based astronomy observatory.
