The Sky at Night takes to the air on board the largest airborne observatory in the world – a specially modified jumbo jet, flying out of California. This extraordinary aircraft is home to a 17-tonne telescope that observes the galaxy from around 40,000 feet.

This telescope – called SOFIA – specialises in infrared astronomy. It can peer into the heart of a galaxy through the dust and gas, and see how stars form. It’s designed to answer some of the biggest questions in astronomy why aren’t more stars being created and how do planets form?
