So far, the Boomerang Nebula is the only preplanetary nebula whose temperature has dropped below that of the Big Bang's afterglow, but there's no way it's the only one that ever has.

The Boomerang Nebula’s central star has lost an entire Sun’s worth of material just since A.D. 500 — an unsustainable mass-loss that will not endure much longer.

However, the Boomerang Nebula, located 5,000 light-years away, holds the record for the coldest natural place ever measured at one degree Kelvin. Earthly comparisons fall far short of these extremes.

Revealed by astronomers Raghvendra Sahai and Lars-Åke Nyman in 1995, the Boomerang Nebula has a temperature lower than its background radiation, according to European Space Agency.

Although temperatures plummet on the dark side of the moon and the shadowy craters of Pluto, those locales look balmy compared with the Boomerang Nebula. About 5,000 light-years away, this star system ...

Hubble image of Boomerang Nebula 1 "The general bow-tie shape of the Boomerang appears to have been created by a very fierce 500,000 kilometer-per-hour wind blowing ultracold gas away from the ...
