TL;DR Summary

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured stunning images of the Boomerang Nebula, a near-absolute zero temperature nebula located 5,000 light-years away. The nebula features two symmetric lobes of matter being ejected from a central star in a process known as a bipolar outflow. Over the past 1,500 years, the central star has lost nearly one and a half times the mass of our Sun. The Boomerang Nebula's temperature is just one degree Kelvin above absolute zero, making it one of the coldest known regions in the universe.
