Any relation to Dr. Ulysses J. Sofia my former astrophysics professor/department head? Or is it just a coincidental acronym?
Have Qs about how @SOFIAtelescope is observing @NASANewHorizons's next target ahead of its 2019 flyby? #askNASA now: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/sofia-to-make-advance-observations-of-next-new-horizons-flyby-object …pic.twitter.com/dBk0KctNG3

#AskNASA Maybe its too late to ask but how did it go? Any idea of how close you got to the center of the shadow? PS: Keep up the good work! -
Everything went very well! We were exactly where the predicted center of shadow was at exactly the right time!
-
Very very happy to hear that. Looking forward to read about the results!

How do you determine the location to fly over for observing? And how specific do you need to be?
#askNASA -
We used data from
@NASAHubble &@ESAGaia satellite to calculate where MU69 shadow would fall on Earth. The best data is from the center! -
Thanks! Also, MU69 is pretty small, what is the telescope's observing limit? (As in size, distance, etc.)

Good god. Talk about threading the needle. How brief is the occultation
@SOFIAtelescope will observe?#askNASA -
The occultation will be appox. 2 seconds, but we are using our high-speed camera.
-
Wow that's longer than I expected. Not that I had a good idea. What percentage of MU69 velocity is line-of-sight?
-
It's a small percentage. Most of the motion is from the Earth's orbit around the sun.
