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.
