Your Tax Dollars At Work

This is SOFIA, the Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy:


Imagine taking the Hooker telescope from the Mount Wilson Observatory and flying it. SOFIA is far more compact, of course, and was designed for infrared observations, hence the need to be able to fly it in order to get above 99% of the water vapor in the atmosphere.

Amazing stuff.
