    Unparalleled Cosmic Discoveries: The University of Tokyo Atacama Observatory Begins Operations at the World's Highest Altitude

    Broke On: Tuesday, 30 April 2024 The University of Tokyo Atacama Observatory (TAO), the world's highest astronomical observatory at 5,640 meters on Cerro Chajnantor in Chile, has begun operations. Its unique location offers exceptional clarity for cosmic studies due to minimal water vapor and a dry environment. Despite challenges during construction, including safety measures for workers and astronomers at high altitude, TAO's 6.5m infrared-optimized mirror will contribute to research on galaxy evolution, supermassive black holes, and planet formation.
