At these wavelengths, astronomers can peer at the disks of gas and dust around newborn stars, see into star - forming clouds, and observe early galaxies that are bright
in submillimetre wavelengths but obscured by dust in optical light.

The protostar is still quite cool — about -250 degrees Celsius — and shines only
in long -
wavelength submillimetre light [2].
This radiation was stretched to longer
wavelengths as space itself expanded, and by the time it reached Earth — and Herschel — it was
in the far - infrared and
submillimetre range.
The APEX telescope
in Chile has mapped the full area of the Galactic Plane visible from the southern hemisphere for the first time at
submillimetre wavelengths — between infrared light and radio waves — and
in finer detail than recent space - based surveys.
