5. ALMA’s View of the Universe Despite its relatively limited capability during Early Science observations, the scientific results from ALMA are already overwhelming. Unparalleled sensitivity has made it possible for scientists to detect weak emission lines from distant galaxies and complex organic molecules around young stars. Astronomers have also captured the sharpest-ever images of a circumstellar dust ring and molecular arms of galaxies. More and more data are being delivered to scientists, and ALMA is still growing. ALMA’s new era of astronomy is just beginning!
