The infrared satellite IRAS. The main task of the IRAS telescope was the search of a longwave infrared radiation, composing the maps of the sky in the infrared range. IRAS telescope helped to discover new galaxies, to study the properties of the dust particles in our galaxy, which opens the character of a star hiding somewhere in the sky. ... For 6 months of observation it discovered 6 new asteroids, allowed to find out the nature of the dust zones between Mars and Jupiter orbits. ...

... We consider the astrophysical evolution of the Galaxy over large time scales, from early stages (an age of ~10 8 yrs) to the end of traditional stellar evolution (~10 11 yrs). ... In the model considered, the basic stages of Galactic evolution are as follows. ... Essentially all other basic parameters of the Galaxy vary little. ... The final "stellar epoch" in the life of the Galaxy is completed ~10 13 yrs after its formation, when the evolution of the least massive stars comes to an end. ...

...
