The Boomerang Nebula


The Boomerang Nebula, a fascinating anomaly of the cosmos. At one degree of Celsius above absolute zero (the temperature at which all movement ceases), this nebula is the coldest thing ever observed in space and the only thing ever known to be colder than the background radiation of the Big Bang (which is very cold, -270C (-454ºF)).
