Abstract

The observations of the Zel'dovich effect in galaxy clusters are reviewed. The failure to detect the effect at short wavelengths is interpreted as proof of the existence of intergalactic dust. Small and fast spinning grains can emit the power needed to compensate the decrease in temperature expected from the Zel'dovich effect.
