SOFIA was NASA's infrared eye in the sky for the last decade and Active Galactic got to visit it! Come along with us on a trip to the Pima Air and Space Museum to see this incredible telescope in a plane, talk about its history, and figure out if it was worth all the hype.
Special thank you to the Pima Air and Space Museum for welcoming us for this project, especially John Bezosky and Andrew Boehly.
