that absolute 0 can only be made in a lab and that atoms fall apart?

Absolute zero can't be reached -- it is a theoretical limit. We have got things to a few billionths of a degree above absolute zero, but it is impossible to reach it.
In order to cool something to absolute zero, we'd have to get something colder than it, and that is not possible. So we can get ever closer, but never actually reach it.
At absolute zero, atoms do not move at all.

no, absolute zero can exist in nature, outside of a lab. it's just an absence of heat energy.
no, atoms don't 'fall apart' - it takes a great force to make them come apart. this can also happen naturally (e.g. inside a star)

I made absolute 0's all the way through school.

The coldest temperature achieved in a lab to date is 0.45 billionths of one degree Kelvin. The background temperature of the universe is about 2.725 degrees Kelvin and cooling very slowly--nothing that naturally occurs would be colder than this.

absolute 0 can exists in deep space.
atoms do not fall apart, but everything becomes a solid (even gases)
