Take a tour into the heart of SOFIA, the world's largest airborne observatory. SOFIA Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy is an extensively modified Boeing 747SP aircraft that carries a 100-inch (2.5 meter) reflecting telescope with the ability to study astronomical objects and phenomena, including star birth and death, the formation of new solar systems, black holes at the center of galaxies, and complex molecules in space.

Our SOFIA Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy is on a five-week mission to study celestial objects that are better observed from the Southern Hemisphere. This video shows highlights of the various science objectives the team expects to complete, including observing an occultation of the dwarf planet Pluto on June 29. #NASABeyond | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

🌔 In case you missed it... using our SOFIA Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, we found water on the Moon's sunlit surface for the first time. Scientists think the water could be stored inside glass beadlike structures within the soil that can be smaller than the tip of a pencil.

The Habitable Worlds Observatory is early in its development as a large infrared/optical/ultraviolet space telescope. Many designs are under consideration, including this artist's concept animation. The observatory will be the first space telescope designed specifically to search for signs of life and determine how common life is beyond Earth. The Habitable Worlds Observatory will study the universe with unprecedented sensitivity and resolution, giving us new insights into the solar system, star

💦🌚 Water molecules were found in Clavius Crater, one of the largest craters visible from Earth on the Moon! This discovery from our SOFIA Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy indicates that water may be distributed across the surface, & not limited to cold, shadowed places.
