IRAS was launched on January 25, 1983. During its ten months of operation, IRAS scanned more than 96 percent of the sky four times at four infrared bands centered at 12, 25, 60 and 100 microns, increasing the number of cataloged astronomical sources by almost 70%. The IRAS mission has had a major impact on almost...
