NASA and the German Aerospace Center have partnered to create the The SOFIA observatory. It is the largest airborne observatory. “A Boeing 747SP that has been modified to include a reflecting telescope and other instruments that allows scientists to study the ‘infrared universe’ invisible to the naked eye, yet containing all kinds of information about the world” (THR)
Congratulations to Nichelle Niichols. She has been an ambassador for NASA for a long time. She deserves to have this day in the sun.
