Infrared Astronomy from the Ground, Air, and Space 

 

Robert D. Gehrz,  Professor, Minnesota Institute for Astrophysics,
University of Minnesota.

Infrared (IR) astronomical observations, beginning in the late 1960's, have
provided new understanding of the origin, content, and chemical evolution of
the Universe. Early observations in the field were made with ground-based
observatories that set the stage for more advanced facilities recently
developed by NASA.

A brief history of the field will be presented. Observations with the
Wyoming Infrared Observatory, and NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and
Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared astronomy (SOFIA) will be presented.
Anticipated observations with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope will be
described.
