Galaxies like snow flakes lining the filamentary emergent neural network of the cosmic mind. Clusters of the hidden communities of luminous spiral convenings revealed, by the dance of gravity casting scarves of arced flaming photons into the folds of spacetime. Come spin with new birthing solar nebula and attempt to discern the life impulses destined to sing through their emergent planetary collectives. ALMA, meaning “Soul” in Spanish, is the Atacama Long Millimeter Array, a collection of 5000 meter radio telescopic ears cupped high in the Atacama desert, listening to the earliest light impulses of cosmos. Its discoveries blend with other new telescopic inquiries, like JWST and Chandra, unveiling the awesome artistry of the universe we share and are.
