SOFIA Studying the Birth of Stars from a Flying Telescope (49)

26 min•24 september 2017

SOFIA is the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy.

Some German astronomers have made a one hundred inch telescope that picks up infrared. They bent it and shrunk it so that it fits into a NASA provided 747 Jumbo Jet. Dr Karl was lucky enough to be taken up for a ride. He spoke with Oliver Zeile about the engineering that keeps the telescope focused and on-target, and with Melanie Chavance who is studying the birth of stars in our nearest galaxy.
