One of the reasons NEOWISE is so valuable is that it sees the sky in the thermal infrared. That means that instead of seeing the sunlight that asteroids reflect, NEOWISE sees the heat that they emit. This is a vital capability, since some asteroids are as dark as coal and can be difficult or impossible to spot with other telescopes.

The bottom line is that finding orphan planets - small, faint, and located who-knows-where - is not for the faint of heart. The task is comparable to observing a match flame at the distance of Pluto. The WISE satellite, a hi-tech, space-based infrared telescope especially suited for such work, has found only a few.

In terms of what I wanted to do before I got into politics, I was a businessman. I ran a company that makes and sells infrared night vision military technology and solar technology, so I wanted to grow that company and pursue groundbreaking technology in each of those areas.

Archaeologists use datasets from NASA and commercial satellites, processing the information using various off-the-shelf computer programs. These datasets allow us to see beyond the visible part of the light spectrum into the near, middle, and far infrared.

The next innovation, Sensavision, will be like a Walkman attached to your forehead. You won't actually have your head wired because infrared wires will send signals to you. In 2007 Mick Jagger will be on stage, and when Mick feels heat, you'll feel heat.

For example, some stars put out large amounts of energy in the infrared part of the spectrum, so that this can produce a different relative magnitude rating than using light energy from the middle of the spectrum.

If you're in a motion-capture studio, you have spherical, reflective markers, which are picked up by cameras that emit infrared - it reflects it, and then the cameras pick up the data.

The future infrared space telescope will cover that area in a much more efficient manner.

I sit in an infrared sauna everyday and microwave myself. It's really detoxifying.

Used often to discuss technologies for heat sensing and night vision.

Technological Uses

Infrared is frequently associated with warmth; devices may emit infrared to produce heat.

Feeling Heat

Often used in scientific and technical discussions about wavelengths and energy.

Scientific Context

Even though invisible, infrared's effects can be observed, like feeling warmth or seeing heat signatures.

Invisibility

Special equipment is required to detect or visualize infrared.

 lost but you get up and you can understand the shapes of things and for for human elements you just have to go and spend time and talk to people and find things this is a man who let his camels out to graze earlier in the early morning on the edge of the empty quarter and the other way we tried to get pictures with infrared cameras that were triggered by the animals coming to drink

 of electromagnetic radiation, which includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays. It may seem strange to think of these things as light, but there is no fundamental difference between visible light and other electromagnetic radiation. It's the same energy,

 We can also study the infrared light, emitted by colder objects, like the gas and dust clouds in space, and the ultraviolet light from the hot stars recently born from those clouds. Studying different wavelengths not only gives us a more complete picture of any single object

 The neutrinos it detects should finally tell us where cosmic rays come from and how they reached such extreme energies. Light, from infrared, to x-rays, to gamma rays, has given us increasingly energetic and continuously surprising views of the universe.

Why neutrinos matter -...

 so you can swing a tennis racket, or hit a baseball bat. But what actually interests me a lot more is the fact that in the tip of each controller is a relatively high-performing infrared camera. And I'm going to show you two demos of why this is useful.
