Episode description

In this episode of ALMA's Little Universe, we will deepen our knowledge about how the raw data collected through the telescope becomes images intelligible by the human eye.

How does the binary code information become three-dimensional images with pseudo-colors that are analyzable by researchers worldwide? Drew Brisbin and Chin-Shin Chang, two scientists from the Science Archive Content Management, will explain to us the processes behind the conversion of radio frequencies into three-dimensional colorized images of the Universe. Let's see how different images and products of the Cosmos emerge from ALMA.
