Amazing facts about NOEMA

 

Did you know?

 

The celestial signals captured by NOEMA are incredibly small. Its antennas would need to observe the sky for a period equal to the entire age of the universe to collect enough energy to light an ordinary light-bulb for 10 seconds.

 

To combine the celestial signals collected by the 12 antennas, NOEMA's electronic equipment will perform millions of billions of mathematical calculations per second.

 

NOEMA's spatial resolution is such that the 12 antennas would be able to detect your pc screen from a distance of over 500 kilometers.
