Coldest Place in the Solar System?

The Moon has the coldest place in the Solar System yet measured by a spacecraft. It found temperatures as low as -249°C (that's just 26 degrees above Absolute Zero!!), but elsewhere on the Moon temperatures can rise as high as 127°C at the equator in direct sunlight! Simply amazing how inhospitable the Universe is even at such a small distance away from our little haven!
