A new observatory still under construction has given astronomers a major breakthrough in understanding a nearby planetary system and provided valuable clues about how such systems form and evolve. Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array have discovered that planets orbiting the star Fomalhaut must be much smaller than originally thought. This is the first published science result from ALMA in its first period of open observations for astronomers worldwide.

ALMA is currently in its Early Science phase of observations and still under construction, but is already the most powerful of its kind. The observatory has just issued the call for proposals for its next cycle of observations.
