Far-infrared astronomy is the branch of astronomy and astrophysics that deals with objects visible in far-infrared radiation. In the far-infrared, stars are not especially bright, but emission from very cold matter can be observed that is not seen at shorter wavelengths. This is due to thermal radiation of interstellar dust contained in molecular clouds. These emissions are from dust in circumstellar envelopes around numerous old red giant stars. The Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey mapped the gala
