Lack of Infrared

    Why do some pictures have no infrared sources? Is it good/bad?

    Hi @charlottebrew,
    Welcome to RGZTalk! Some radio galaxies are so far away that the light from their stars are simply too faint for us to see in the infrared even though we still see their powerful radio jets.

    Hope this helps.
