Prof. Richard Teague speaks with CNN reporter Asuka Koda about how an international team of astronomers have “captured the most complete, high-resolution map of the cold gas at the center of the Milky Way, which contains the raw material from which stars and planets are made” using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, or ALMA. “I think astronomy on this scale is really no longer about small individual people pushing in their labs, but about huge international collaborations,” says Teague. “And I think that’s what’s particularly impressive about this piece of work, just the scale of that collaboration that you need to make it happen.”
