Scientific paper
A sampling is given of viewpoints expressed in various papers given at the IRAS Symposium 'Light on Dark Matter', held at Noordwijk aan See, Netherlands, June 10-14, 1985. More than a dozen invited talks and 50 contributed papers described what IRAS (the Infrared Astronomical Satellite) has revealed about the death and birth of stars, the large-scale structure of the Galaxy and properties of interstellar dust. The views of several dozen of the attendees are cited briefly. The IRAS catalog and all sky images have been generally available only since last December. The number and variety of results reported at the conference suggest that the data returned by IRAS will be a valuable resource for astronomers for years to come.
