In regards to this, Professor Ohta commented, «This is a big step towards getting the big picture of galaxy evolution as the objects connecting especially bright galaxies in millimeter / submillimeter waves and normal galaxies were detected with ALMA.»

In past observations, gigantic galaxies deeply covered in dust, where several hundreds to thousands of stars are actively forming per year, have been detected with millimeter / submillimeter waves.

There are other existing telescopes that observe millimeter / submillimeter waves, but ALMA is an outstanding telescope with exceptionally high sensitivity and resolution capable of imaging the unknown universe that was never possible to see before.

The surfaces of all of these dishes, to accurately reflect millimeter and submillimeter waves, are smooth to less than the thickness of a human hair.
