·The map below illustrates the areas of the sky
observed by BLAST during the 2006 flight.The whiteness of the area indicates the amount of time dedicated to the scan.Scans are superimposed onto a combined
IRAS + DIRBE map of the 100 μm dust emission shown in red
(from Schlegel et al. 1998).Targets of interest to BLAST are labeled in green.

The map below shows the Galactic regions observed by BLAST during the 2005
flight. The background (greyscale) is a combined IRAS + DIRBE map of the
100 μm dust emission (from Schlegel et al. 1998).
