ultracool

Beyond trendy now

Ultracool means extremely cool, used as casual emphasis: That concert was ultracool.

In astronomy, ultracool describes celestial objects with very low surface temperatures—ultracool dwarfs are stars or brown dwarfs cooler than about 2,700 Kelvin, too dim to see with the naked eye but detectable by infrared telescopes.
