T+3 hours: Success!

Posting in a bleary-eyed haze is generally a bad idea, but I want to get the news out:  last night's Pluto occultation was a success!  Unfortunately several groups on the ground were clouded out, but others were able to obtain data and see an occultation, including the group aboard SOFIA.  Read the SOFIA press release HERE!

Images from SOFIA's Facebook page.  [The flight plan (bottom) has a glitch,
the sharp spike to the left isn't real.]
