A new millimeter‐wave radio telescope was recently dedicated at the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory, 12 miles from Amherst, Mass. The 45‐foot diameter dish will be used primarily to study molecular clouds in our galaxy. The instrument is expected to have the highest resolution at 1 mm wavelength of any radio telescope in the world.
