Number 40 (Story #2), July 10, 1991 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein THE MOST INTENSE EMITTER OF INFRARED RADIATION yet detected, a celestial object prosaically called 10214+4724, has been discovered by a British-American team using data from the Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS). The infrared radiation, broadcast at a rate some 3 x 1014 times that of the Sun, is believed to originate from massive quantities of dust which is thought to surround either a bright quasar or a forming supergalaxy. If the presence of dust is confirmed, the object, whose redshift if 2.286, could provide evidence that heavy elements formed as early as 2.3 billion years after the Big Bang. (Nature, 27 June 1991.)
