Abstract
WE wish to make precise statements concerning black body radiation, isotropic in a frame S0, which moves with velocity v in the observer's frame S. This is of interest in connexion with (a) the problem of measuring the Earth's velocity through the 3° K cosmic background radiation field and (b) the problem of assigning a temperature to a moving black body.
