        I’ve never heard of one but maybe, there are loads of weird things in the universe!

        I’d never heard of one so I asked Google!

        It tells me that the coldest star in the universe is a brown dwarf which has a temperature of 125 – 175 degrees Celsius. That’s the sort of temperature you can get in your kitchen oven so I’ve depends if you think that’s cold. The sun is 15 million degrees Celsius so it’s way cooler than that 🙂

        I’d also never heard of them–neat, learn something new every day.
