Scientific paper

During a single flight of our 102 cm balloon-borne telescope and 40-250 micron photometer we observed Uranus, Neptune, Ceres, Venus, Mars, and Saturn. Effective temperatures for Uranus (58.5 plus or minus 2 K) and Neptune (59.7 plus or minus 4 K) were determined, thus confirming the absence of a substantial internal heat source for Uranus and the presence of one for Neptune. Ceres has a brightness temperature of 195 plus or minus 12 K at an effective wavelength of 60 microns.
