After
the infrared light from our solar system and galaxy has been removed, what
remains is a uniform cosmic infrared background. The line across the center
is an artifact from removal of galactic light. The DIRBE team reports detection
of this cosmic background light also at 140 micrometers, and has set limits
to its brightness at eight other infrared wavelengths from 1.25 to 100 micrometers. |
