Herschel can detect bands of submillimetre light that are blocked by Earth's atmosphere.

Team member Asantha Cooray of the University of California, Irvine, notes that there are fairly few bright sources of submillimetre light nearby, so «the brightest submillimetre sources are all gravitationally lensed».

Not exact matches

As they are opaque to visible light it is difficult for astronomers to observe their inner workings, and so other tools are needed to unveil their secrets — observations in the infrared or in the submillimetre parts of the spectrum, for example, where the dust clouds, only a few degrees over absolute zero, appear bright.

[2] The Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array (ALMA), operated in part by ESO, observes in submillimetre and millimetre light and is ideal for the study of such very young stars in molecular clouds.
