Abstract: | We provide insight in the origin of the far-IR to mm emission from galaxies by presenting a decomposition of the Galaxy emission
where we separate the contributions from dust in the atomic gas and dust associated with quiescent molecular gas as a function
of Galacto-centric distance. This decomposition leaves a puzzling very cold emission excess with a brightness independent of Galactic longitude that might be pointing at interstellar matter in the
outer Galaxy not traced by H I nor CO emission.
