Did You Know that the Boomerang Nebula was the site of a Burn, a region of space so consumed by the Flood that it was deemed off-limits by Forerunner fleets? During the Flood war, the nebula was reported to contain Precursor star roads.

Say hello to the beautiful Boomerang Nebula or also known as the Bow Tie Nebula. This is the coldest region we have found thus far in the  universe. I'm not sure if we could find any nebulae that are colder because it's literally 1 degrees  kelvin! Meaning one degree above absolute zero!  The reason it’s so cold starts with the core of the star (which is right in the middle of the bow) is collapsing on itself,  and causing an incredible outflow of gas. The speed of this expansion gas is travelling at an astonishing 164 km/s! Since it’s travelling so fast two things are happening here. One is the gas is cooling down much more efficiently and the other is that the star itself is losing 1/1000th of a solar mass each year. This is 100 times more than what an average star loses during this period.  We wouldn’t have to travel outside of our neighborhood either as it’s located right in our Milky Way 5,000 light years away from Earth in the constellation Centaurus.  Credit: Hubble Heritage Team, J.
