Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A dim, young star like Herbig-Haro 68 emits most of its light in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is because the star is still surrounded by a thick, dusty cloud of gas and dust from which it formed, which absorbs and scatters much of the visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray light that would otherwise be emitted by the star. However, this dust also re-radiates much of the absorbed energy in the infrared, making this part of the spectrum the most visible from such stars.
