Since infrared has such a long wavelength, a larger mirror is needed to produce a quality image.

The Doppler effect causes them to create radiation in the longer - wavelength, infrared portion of the spectrum.

The «colours» are due to differences in the surface temperature of starsw1: hotter stars emit most of their light in the visible blue or ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, whereas cooler stars radiate at longer wavelengths, in the visible red or infrared regions (see Mignone & Barnes, 2011a).

The photons, having optical wavelengths, are degraded into longer wavelengths by dust absorption and reemission, so that the protostar is apparent to a distant observer only as an infrared object.
