The temperature based radiation is limited to a frequency determined by the actual temperure, but the spectrum below that is (practically) continuous. (Wien's law of displacement)
Thus when that spectrum is shifted to higher frequencies (say, by the forementioned doppler effect) from infra red region it starts out dark red turning yellow then white. Just like when you heat up something. An object over 1000 Cdgr (2000ish F) is damn close to white.

Instead of "asking" questions we should simply politely mention what it is we want to know, and let other parties decide for themselves if they should share the information.

Using this system we can banish the question mark, and use it for some better good.
