What may be the coldest natural place of the universe?
Have you ever felt curious about perceiving something about space? Especially concerning the coldest place of the universe. If not, let me astonish you with the amazing facts. Sometimes a sudden catastrophic explosion occurs in the stars resulting the ejection of its mass which is habitually called as a supernova. The dust and gas present in these ejected masses combined to form giant cloud-like structures in interstellar space which are conventionally called as a Nebula. There are about 20,000 nebulae present in our milky way galaxy, in which the Tarantula Nebula is the largest and the NGC 7027 also known as Jewel Bug Nebula is the smallest one. According to NASA the closest nebula to the earth is the Helix Nebula. Speaking of the coldest place of the universe it is the Boomerang Nebula which is one of the 20 thousand nebulae present in this galaxy but the peculiar one.
The Boomerang Nebula which is also known as the Bow Tie Nebula is present about 5,000 light years away from the Earth which is present in the constellation of Centaurus. It is also catalogued as LEDA 3074547. This boomerang nebula is formed from the explosion of a red giant star which gave it an hourglass shape. The temperature of this nebula measured at -272.15°C; 457.87°F which makes it the coolest natural place of the universe. This boomerang nebula is not only prominent for its temperature but also for its hourglass shape. The mass of these nebulae will be of a few kilograms because these nebulae are not very dense. The colours of the nebula represent the light waves which are not able to detect by our naked eye. These nebulae are thick and cloudy which makes it more alluring.
But as per sources, this freezing beauty is gaining its temperature slowly which will make it no more colder in the future years. It may lose its first place of being the coldest natural place of the universe but its prodigious beauty is what makes it special to commemorate it. Whatever may happen in the future but this cold beauty should have been reminisced for ages.
