While NASA's Wide - field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) failed to the tell - tale warmth of gas giants like Saturn within 10,000 AUs and larger than Jupiter objects out to 26,000 AUs (NASA / JPL news release), an icy «super-Earth», would have been too cold and faint for WISE to detect — even if the hypothesized planet has a small internal heat source and absorbs some sunlight.

This was necessary because if the telescope were not cooled down, its own thermal radiation at infrared wavelengths would swamp the much fainter radiation from astronomical objects.
