    747 turned into flying observatory - GIF and photos

    The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), an airborne observatory project by NASA and the German Aerospace Center. The advantage of putting a telescope in a 747 is that you can get above much of Earth's atmosphere and water vapor, and of course you can travel to any point on the planet.
