Coldest Known Place

Featured Replies

The Boomerang nebula, which is 5,000 light years from earth, is the coldest natural place known in the universe. The temperature within the gasses is only 1 degree celcius above absolute zero. This is due to the expanding gasses lowering the temperature. Im sure some ex's would feel right at home.

That would be 1 degree on average. I wonder if some of the molecules on collision lose all their energy and collapse out of existance? A good percentage must be near or at 0. Do you think the cloud is losing mass this way?

Just aman

What do you mean by ex's?

Can't be at absolute zero; either the pressure or volume would have to be zero, which means you'd have nothing.
