Infrared cirrus

Infrared cirrus are filamentary structures seen in space that emit infrared light. The name is given because the structures are cloud-like in appearance. These structures were first detected by the Infrared Astronomy Satellite at wavelengths of 60 and 100 micrometres. Infrared cirrus are filamentary structures seen in space that emit infrared light.
