One of the reasons NEOWISE is so valuable is that it sees the sky in the thermal infrared.
NEOWISE 如此有价值的原因之一是它可以在热红外线中看到天空。

Infrared (IR) is invisible radiant energy, electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, extending from the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum at 700 nanometers (frequency 430 THz) to 1 mm (300 GHz) (although people can see infrared up to at least 1050 nm in experiments). Most of the thermal radiation emitted by objects near room temperature is infrared.
