摘要：

We have carried out far-infrared rocket observations in the spectral range from 0.4 to 1.3 mm and have detected a flux of 5 × 10-9 W/cm-2 sr, with an uncertainty of a factor of 2. The flux is nearly two orders of magnitude greater than that to be expected from a 3K black cosmic background in this spectral range; its equivalent blackbody temperature would correspond to 8.3K-1.3+2.2K. © 1968 The American Physical Society.
