Program Description

Event Details

Dr. Noel Richardson and several ERAU students had a unique opportunity to travel on the world's largest flying observatory SOFIA (NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) before the aircraft was retired in 2022. The students will discuss their experience, their research on the flight and how that is impacting their education at ERAU.  Star Talks are in partnership with ​Prescott Astronomy Club and presented with funding from the Friends of the Prescott Public Library.
