This is a press release intended for the general public.

Ordinarily I would agree with you. Fahrenheit was intended to relate to the physical realm that humans experience: 0 is about the temperature of freezing seawater and 100 is about the temperature of the human body. In this case though, the temperature is well below what the general public has direct knowledge of. It should have been listed in K first, with F in parentheses just so the US general public reader would get that it's way colder than anything ever measured on Earth.
