No, absolute zero is not possible to achieve. At absolute zero, a molecule would have no kinetic energy, therefore would be stationary. Quantum mechanics shows that this is impossible, as there is always fluctuations in kinetic energy. The earth's poles are way above absolute zero. Particles in space around around 2 Kelvin, which is extremely cold. The lowest temperature ever achieved on Earth was done in a laboratory with sodium atoms, which were cooled to just under 500pK.
