Through the ALMA telescope in Chile, the Boomerang Nebula looks awfully sus…

The Boomerang Nebula, located roughly 5,000 light-years away from our solar system, has a temperature of 1 Kelvin (-272 °C or -460 °F) making it the coldest natural place in the universe humanity has discovered. First found in 1995 by astronomers in Chile, we have since learned quite a bit about it. The Boomerang Nebula is a young planetary nebula which has reached such cold temperatures due to its unusually rapid expansion.

However, recently, modern online enthusiasts have raised one question science has yet been unable to answer: is it sus?
