TL;DR: In this paper, the Far-Infrared Absolute Spectrophotomer (FIRAS) instrument on the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite was used to obtain a blackbody spectrum within 3.4 x 10(exp -8) ergs/sq cm/s/sr cm over the frequency range from 2 to 20/cm (5-0.5 mm).

TL;DR: The FIR absolute spectrophotometer (FIRAS) on the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) has carried out the first all-sky spectral line survey in the FIR region, as well as mapping spectra of the Galactic dust distribution at below 100 microns as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the Galactic continuum spectra from 5-96 cm(-1) from COBE/FIRAS observations and found that the spectra are dominated by warm dust emission, which may be fitted with a single temperature in the range 16-21 K along each line of sight.
