The Boomerang Nebula (ESO 172-7) is a protoplanetary nebula in the constellation Centaurus and is the coldest known natural place in the universe at a feeble 1 degree above absolute zero.

Processing details:

Only color available is F606W. I used ACS/WFC F606W;CLEAR2L data marked as J97K01C8Q. Blueish color gradient colorize thing applied to the image instead. I tried to remove the cosmic rays but also probably got some dim stars so please forgive me for that.

Data from Hubble Legacy Archive from April 30, 2005.
