Infrared astronomy
Infrared astronomy is the branch of astronomy and astrophysics which deals with objects visible in infrared (IR) radiation. Visible radiation ranges from 400nm (blue) to 700nm (red). Longer wavelengths than 700nm but still shorter than microwaves are called infrared (or sometimes submillimeter waves).
