Early in our Solar System’s history, bits of icy debris were scattered and then gradually coaxed into a spiral alignment in ...

If the Oort Cloud is actually molded by the gravitational influences of the Milky Way, this would redefine the outer edge of our solar system in a fundamental way. Historically, the heliosphere ...

This discovery was made through the utilisation of NASA’s supercomputers and it discovered a strange cosmic creation that may alter our understanding of the heliosphere. This strange spiral near the ...

Groundbreaking research reveals the Oort Cloud's shape as a spiral structure, challenging traditional beliefs about its random collection. NASA's Pleiades supercomputer simulations suggest the ...

Feb. 23 (UPI) --A shell of icy objects at the edge of the solar system known as the Oort cloud has a pair of spiral arms that resemble a miniature galaxy, new research suggests. Until now ...

At the edge of our solar system, a host of large, icy bodies make up the Oort cloud, which appears to sport two spiral arms reminiscent of a disk-shaped galaxy. New research founded upon a simulation ...

Previous research has suggested that the Oort cloud contains remnants of the solar system's planets, which were formed over 4 billion years ago, but its exact shape and structure have been a mystery.

This distant zone, known as the Oort Cloud, remains unseen, but its existence is inferred from the long-period comets that occasionally journey inward. Now, a new model suggests that the inner ...

The mysterious cloud of space rocks and debris at the edge of the solar system may have spiral arms, making it resemble a mini galaxy, a new study says. The Oort cloud is a theoretical debris ...
