In a planetary nebula far, far away. NGC7027 about 3000 light years from here.
SOFIA is the Boeing 747(SP) run by NASA and DLR, stuffed with an 8 foot cassegrain telescope on all manner of bearings and oil sponges, allowing it to take images above the normal atmosphere at around 45000 feet. Last month scientists confirmed the elusive molecule for the first time outside the laboratory, where nothing can contain it before being dissolved.
Lt Uhura - Nichelle Nichols - flew onboard the 747 a few years back.
Just to make everybody feel old, it is 40th anniversay since Alien was in the cinemas this year, enjoy.

The Universe’s First Type of Molecule Is Found at Last
Scientists detected the first type of molecule that ever formed, called helium hydride, using Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA.
