It seems that Hubble is optimised for shorter (almost UV) wavelengths - I'm not sure about WISE.
I don't think either can see around 119 microns.

Here is some interesting facts on IR astronomy.
I was intending to take CCD images through IR blocking filters and IR pass filters. Subtract the IR blocked images from the IR pass filters to produce an IR image.
Not so after reading the facts.
