Lowest temperature records graphed. Data from wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_low-temperature_technology and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_zero#History I use the Kelvin to graph as the celcius I did not fill in right at the end. If you know any records I do not have here please add them in the comments.
