To get a sense of how cold this is, Pluto's average surface temperature is seven degrees warmer.
That doesn't give me a good sense because I have no idea how Pluto's average surface temperature compares to typical on-Earth temperatures that I have experienced. This gives me a better sense:
IMHO you're better off thinking in Kelvins. Room temperature is 295 Kelvins, the cosmic background radiation (the leftover glow of the Big Bang) is 2.7 Kelvins, and between the stars, far from any particular star, an object naturally cools to the universe's background temperature of 2.7 Kelvins.

Is that with the windchill?
No atmosphere, therefore no wind, thus no windchill.
You must be fun at parties.
Or -413 F for us silly Americans.
Oh, so something like Canadian winter. ;)
