Sofia, the Historic Airplane-Borne Telescope, Lands for the Last Time | WIRED
Over the past eight years, a modified Boeing 747 jetliner has flown hundreds of flights on a unique mission: carrying a 19-ton, 2.5-meter telescope known as Sofia, or the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy .
Sofia was an innovative way to gaze at the infrared universe. Infrared light is essentially heat radiation—but astronomers can't probe cosmic objects like dust-enshrouded stars and galaxies without the water vapor in Earth's atmosphere absorbing that light.
Near-Earth asteroid Ryugu was born in the outer solar system | Space
