We had our second guest speaker for the exhibition on Monday and WOW did we learn a lot! Mr Claudio Cabrera visited us and give us an informative talk on the ALMA project in San Pedro de Atacama. He began by giving us a little information about telescopes and we learned that there are two kinds: optical and radio. We then watched a few slides explaining the number of systems that must work together to make the telescopes all work and function together. From computer engineers and city planning engineers to transportation engineers all of the systems must work together to make all 66 telescopes work at the same time to produce pictures for studying outer space. It was an amazing talk full of information that we are still talking about!
What was your favorite part of the presentation? What was something new that you learned from this talk? What do you think is our responsibility in thinking about the way technology is used in the ALMA project?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Miss Jessica :)
