A recent satellite measurement just revealed the coldest known place on Earth, and its temperature sits at -144°F.
According to National Geographic, the temperature was recorded by scientists on an ice sheet in the middle of Antarctica during the long, dark winter. A report in Geophysical Research Letters said the team thinks that is close to being as cold as it can possibly get in our area of the solar system.
Ted Scambos, a researcher at the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado said, “It’s a place where Earth is so close to its limit, it’s almost like another planet.”
