For the past two years, Marc Pingry Productions has been working on a major science television special about the largest and most advanced telescope on Earth, our Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile.

"Into Deepest Space: The Birth of the ALMA Observatory" is currently airing on PBS stations throughout the United States. (Check your local PBS listings for broadcast times.)

Enjoy these video vignettes that we proverbially picked up from the cutting room floor.
