Abstract
Long wavelength infrared, defined in this review as the range from 5 to 1,000 m, has proven to be essential in our understanding of many key topics and processes in astronomy. While our understanding of the universe has been limited to visual wavelengths for most of human history, the development of infrared technology has greatly expanded the study of planetary atmospheres, the interstellar medium, star formation, stellar evolution, galaxies, and the distant universe.
