The Boomerang Nebula is colder than space itself

Space is cold, but one nebula beats even the Big Bang’s afterglow: the Boomerang Nebula. It’s the coldest known place in the universe, at about 1 Kelvin, or about -272°C. How does a cloud of gas get that frigid?[1][3]

  • The Boomerang nebula is the coldest natural place in the universe we know, and the first we found to be cooler than the cosmic background

Location check: it sits about 5,000 light-years away in Centaurus, and it is colder than the cosmic microwave background, the faint glow left from the Big Bang. That means it is literally colder than the background temperature of space.[3][2]

Why so cold? The star at its center is blasting gas outward at extreme speed, and that rapid expansion cools the nebula, much like gas cooling in a refrigerator. NASA says the outflow is what makes the region so chilly.[2][7][20]

The shape is tricky, too. Early telescopes made it look boomerang-shaped, but Hubble and ALMA showed a broader hourglass or bipolar structure, with dust and cold gas shaping the light we see.[1][11][5]

Why astronomers care: this nebula is a snapshot of a dying Sun-like star shedding its outer layers before becoming a white dwarf. It is a rare chance to study how stars die, cool, and reshape their surroundings.[5][11][6] Which fact surprised you most?[1]

AI is moving fast: agents, laws, and safety shifts

AI just got a lot more operational: new agent tools, stricter state rules, and fresh safety warnings are landing almost at once. Here are the developments worth watching right now.

🧵 1/6

Anthropic rolled out several Claude upgrades this week: Managed Agents with dreaming, outcomes, multiagent orchestration, and webhooks, plus Claude Security in public beta and an advisor tool for cheaper near-Opus reasoning.[8] This is a big push toward agentic workflows that can plan, verify, and recover on their own.

🧵 2/6

Kyndryl says its new agentic AI in Kyndryl Bridge can detect and resolve IT risks before outages, with support for more than 1,400 customers, 16 million AI insights a month, and incident reductions of up to 50%.[25] If that scales, AI moves from support tool to outage prevention engine.

🧵 3/6

State AI lawmaking is still racing ahead. Connecticut sent one of the nation’s most comprehensive AI bills to Gov. Ned Lamont, Iowa signed a chatbot safety bill, and California, Colorado, and Arizona all have major bills moving right now.[7][1] The compliance map is getting messier fast.

🧵 4/6

A new study says Centaur may have been answering by pattern matching, not understanding the question. When researchers changed the prompt to “Please choose option A,” it still picked the old “correct” answers.[10] That is a useful reminder: strong scores do not always mean real comprehension.

AI’s week of cyber models, regulations, and layoffs

AI just hit a weird new phase: security models, legal fights, and corporate reshuffles are all landing at once. Here are the 3 developments worth watching right now, plus what they mean for the next wave.

  • The image is an infographic titled “Key Attributes of Frontier AI”. It features four purple circular icons with white classical pillar symbols, each representing an attribute: Scale and Complexity – Massive datasets and multimodal architectures enable advanced AI performance. General-Purpose Capabilities – Frontier AI models can perform a wide range of tasks. Emergent Behaviors – Unexpected skills arise from scale and training. Societal Impact – Frontier AI transforms industries

GPT-5.5-Cyber is rolling out in limited preview to vetted cybersecurity teams, a month after Anthropic’s Claude Mythos debut. OpenAI says it’s more permissive for vuln triage, patch validation, and malware analysis. That is the cyber arms race in one sentence. According to CNBC on May 7, 2026.[9]

Claude Mythos is still the model everyone is talking about: Anthropic has kept it in restricted preview for about 50 partners, with cybersecurity use prioritized under Project Glasswing. If public release happens soon, coding and reasoning leaderboards could move fast. As reported by aitoolsrecap on May 2026.[2]

The beginner sewing repair kit that saves the most money. Use a four slide arc: hook with the cost of replacing basics, then reveal the small kit, then show what each tool fixes, and end with a simple first repair challenge and save prompt. Keep it visually consistent with a flat lay kit shot and labeled callouts that make it easy to screenshot.
