Space Photos of the Week: Bundle Up and Behold the Coldest Object in the Universe

Earth teems with life, from the smallest single-celled organism to the enormous blue whale. The telescope high in the desert of Chile captured images of IRAS 16293-2422, a binary star system some 400 light years away. The photos revealed clouds of dust and gas containing methyl isocyanate, one of the prebiotic molecules that gave rise to the solar system. The same telescope array joined the Hubble Space Telescope to photograph the boomerang nebula, the coldest known object in the universe. And the Cassini spacecraft, still on its Grand Finale mission, delivered another eerie image of Titan, its dark hydrocarbon lakes and seas visible through methane clouds.
