I think that the article was great. It was an amazing discovery and it was amazing that it was only 62 degrees above the lowest temperature ever. I would think that the coldest place on earth would be one of the farthest planets like pluto because it is so far away from the sun.
I find this article amazing. How can the coldest part in the universe (found so far) be on the moon. Pluto is sooooo much further from the sun and the moon is almost as close to the sun as Earth is, and do we get that temperature on Earth? I don't thing so. Even though that is super cold I bet over time they will find even colder places. Maybe even one below the lowest temperature ever. Who knows? Science is changing all the time. I know that scientists think they have found 32 new planets. Maybe on one of those planets will the lowest temperature ever be found. Or maybe they use another star as their "sun". Maybe science will answer that over time.
I just thought of something. Because the moon is moving around and as the article said the coldest spot in the universe is getting hotter as seasons change, maybe there will be a new coldest spot when it is summer in the old coldest spot and winter in the new coldest spot. Does that make sense? Whatever. And everything changes so maybe next year the coldest spot will be in the same place but a little colder. Who knows.
Yes, my dad showed to me several weeks ago and when I found out I won, I thought "Man, I have to share this article!" But anyways, on to the comment.
I thought that this article was interesting (why else would I pick it?). You see, everybody, the reason the moon is cooler is because Pluto actually gets sunlight (even if it is many times less) and the moon gets none. As a result of Earth's gravity, the moon is locked in orbit around us, with only one side facing the sun. This is where extremely cold places are, not to mention that there are large underground caves due to the moons early volcanic stage.
Good choice Howard. It was one of the best articles in the whole blog it explained a lot and was very interesting. I'm suprised so little people have commented on stuff.
I thought this was a very important discovery. I was surprised how the cold could trap volatile chemicals. I cannot believe that a cold spot on our solar system will help us find out more about our past. I was wondering, was the coldest temperature possible absolute zero? But really, how do they know that this is the coldest spot on the universe if they can't temperature map other places, like Saturn's moons, or Pluto's moon. If global warming increases, will this change the temperature of the moon and make it not the coldest spot in the universe? If there are asteroids flying through the solar system, how do we know they don't posses the coldest spot? I think that this discovery is cool, but has a LOT of holes.
WOW!
it is interesting how the coldest part of the solar system is so close to the moon. you would think that the coldest spot would be on pluto but its on our own moon!
I think this article was good. It was cool that the coldest part of the solar system is actually very close to the earth. Inside the craters are the coldest climates in the solar system. I always thought that the coldest spot would be somewhere near pluto or very far away,but it turns out that its " right around the corner". The solar system is an incredibly deep and complicated object and that the moon has the coldest spot is kind of strange. I agree with brandon and think that scientists will discover someplace even colder than on the moon.
