I review the assumptions and observations that motivate the concept of the extragalactic cosmic background radiation, and the issues of energy accounts and star formation history as a function of galaxy morphological type that figure in the interpretation of the measurements of the extragalactic infrared background.

Recent observations of the spectrum of the 3K cosmic background radiation (CBR) indicate that the CBR spectrum is consistent with a blackbody spectrum of T = 2.74 ±0.02K (Smoot et al. 1987). These measurements, however, were carried out in the Rayleigh-Jeans part of the spectrum, while theories predict spectral distortion in the Wien part. Therefore, we tried to observe the submillimeter spectrum of the CBR with a liq.He cooled radiometer onboard a sounding rocket. The experiment was a collaboration between Nagoya University and University of California, Berkeley.
