The ‘Coldest Place in the Universe’ Meme explained
If you’ve Googled the ‘coldest place in the universe’, it should have come up with something called the Boomerang Nebula.
It’s a giant cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases that was first spotted in 1995. The nebula is 5,000 lightyears away from Earth in the constellation Centaurus.
In the Boomerang Nebula, temperatures reach just one degree Kelvin, making it the coldest place in the universe. To put that into perspective, that’s -460 degrees Fahrenheit or -273 degrees Celsius.
Anyway, that’s enough of the science. Why is everyone on Twitter asking others to Google this? Well, it’s because it relates to the popular online multiplayer game Among Us.
If you look at the photo of the red and orange Boomerang Nebula, it visually resembles an Among Us crewmate, and gamers across the world think it’s really funny.
