  • Looking at where we are now. With our back to the sun, and the Planets, Asteroids and comets behind us, we face Deep Space. There’s nothing between us and the stars that are very far away. Or is there? The Empty space beyond Neptune is not empty. What if we tell you that the Solar system is in the centre of a Giant ice-cloud! This cloud might be filled with billions and trillions of comets and other objects. What is the Oort Cloud?

    Before talking about this cloud, let’s talk about what are comets? Comets are cosmic snowballs of frozen gases, rocks and dust, orbiting the sun. They are typically the size of a town.These comets while orbiting the sun, get close to it and in the process are heated. Upon heating, they emit dust and gases into a giant glowing head. The dust and gases form a tail that stretches away from these for millions of miles. There are two main classes of comets : Short-period comets (also called elliptical comets) and long period comets. Short period comets are generally accepted to have emerged from either the Kuiper belt or the Scattered Disc which are two linked flat discs of icy debris beyond Neptune’s orbit at 30 au and jointly extending out beyond 100 au from the Sun. Short period comets have an orbital period of less than 200 years and orbit the Sun in the same plane as the planets. Long period comets have tilted and wildly elliptical orbits and appear from every direction in the sky. Their orbits last for thousands of years. The orbits of comets within the Kuiper belt are relatively stable, and so very few comets are thought to originate there.
    But there is a problem here. Comets loose material and burn up when they fly by the sun and melt in the spectacular process which creates those gorgeous tails. After an interval of time comets disappear, and yet new comets keep coming. It's been nearly 4.5 Billion years to our solar systems birth and yet these comets are still appearing from nowhere. So where are they coming from? And what makes them come toward us? This was a very puzzling question back in the mid- 20th century. It was first theorised and solved by Dutch Astronomer, Jan Oort in 1950. He was also the first person to find the evidence for dark matter. He also found the distance of our Solar System from the Centre of our Milky Way. To understand what he proposed, lets go a bit back in time, about 4.5 Billion years back. Lets Observe our solar system, coalescing out of a flat disk of material around the sun, the inner planets were warmer, smaller and rocky while the outer planets were in a region that was freezing and grew huge. As this part of the solar system was chillier, water came in the form of ice mixed with dust and other stuffs. These pieces would then collide and stick together, and in the process they grew bigger. So, after the planets formed, the region in which they were formed still contained lots of these leftover chunks of ice and stuff called Planetesimals. Planetesimals formed the same material as the planets did. But those outer Jovian planets, they had a lot of gravity and any piece of chunk that got too close to them, were either assimilated in them or got thrown into highly eccentric orbits. They were either thrown towards the sun or flung out into Deep Space. Trillions upon trillions of such ice balls got tossed around by the planets. These small chunks with a very little gravity pulled on the heavy planets and the planets did the same. Though, the gravitational pull of these small chunks of ice was not much, but after trillions of these encounters, it accounted. So, the overall effect of all these encounters was that the Saturn, Uranus and Neptune moved outwards and Jupiter moved Inwards. As Neptune was moving outwards, it had a lot of encounters with these ice chunks and flung them into wild elliptical and tilted orbits. This shuffling and moving of the outer planets is what caused the Late Heavy Bombardment in our solar system.Today, there are three distinct populations of these objects. One is a region called the Kuiper belt, named after the Dutch Astronomer Gerard Kuiper. Comets in this belt have a stable orbit aligned with the planets.

    Since there is an "Oort Cloud" around our solar system, does it stand to reason that many other star systems will have similar clouds? Small bug in the animation of the Voyager space craft. The main dish was pointed in the direction of movement. It should be pointing mostly backwards.

    Sci-fi stories have mentioned Oort clouds.
    The most popular is The Dragon Riders Of PERN.
    The cloud in that story doesn't seem to be a sphere surrounding the solar system but only occupying an area at the edge of it. A rogue planet captured by the sun of the system has a highly elliptical orbit that carries it through the cloud and back towards the sun. This rogue planet's gravity pulls chunks of ice behind it and this ice is a life form that falls on the habitable planet every couple hundred of years.
    This life form breaks down all biological life and absorbs it.
    So of the billions of objects out there in the Oort cloud have frozen life such as the building blocks for life?
    Including life forms that could be antilife or maybe bacteria and viruses like what has us penned up. Rather than frozen aliens.

    This is an interesting hypothesis. The explanation that if the solar system is 4.5 Billion years old then we need a cloud where comets can originate from because we still have comets. Logically there are just too many assumptions for me to be comfortable with this hypothesis as part of science.

    I need help with my new years resolution. I've figured out how to change the stars.
    My idea for changing the stars includes Orion and Pleiades (Subaru). I figure it's time to put something up there that's relevant to us, don't you think? Take Orion's belt and Betelgeuse becomes the head with a baseball hat. Below the belt are two legs bending at the knee. The feet aligning perfectly under the bent knees. The 3 stars of Orion's belt align perfectly as the 3 fat belt loops on a baseball uniform. The spear pointing at "Subaru" is the bat being swung and "Pleiades" is the baseball flying away after being hit. Put it all together and you get, "THE ALL-STAR." In my case, I see a left-handed batter and I imagine a "7" on the jersey. Which makes him, "Mickey." (As it should be ;-) But you can put any number you want, making, "THE ALL-STAR," any player you want. It'd be wrong of me to not, at least, try. This is me, trying. Pass it on, please and thank you. Don't worry, where I come from, crazy is a compliment. ;-P

    My idea so I get to name it! What I mean is, no one has claimed it so I'm officially calling, "Dibs." Voyager 1 is now in the, "Milky Way's interstellar time" or "Mikey's Time."
    "V-ger's" message has sped up now that it's outside our Sun's, "Time Bubble," or, "Terran Time." It will be faster, still, when "V-ger" sends a message from beyond the Milky Way's time bubble. Then there's Outside the Local Group time bubble. So on and so on until we get outside any influence and into the, "True Interstellar Time Standard." Or, "T.I..." ;-P
    Now that "V-ger" is outside our Sun's reach, in interstellar space, it's now in the Milky Way's faster moving, Interstellar Time or "Mikey's Time." This can be proven by turning off everything except its clock and transmitter. Have "V-ger" read time for as long as possible. They WILL show the flow of time speeds up the further away you get from any celestial bodies. Until you reach the Milky Way's time standard or "Mikey's Time."
    •Our sun's time bubble: "Terran Time" we know and have measured. In a lifetime, our head is one second younger than our feet.
    •Milky Way's time bubble or "Mikey's Time." The rate/flow of TIME outside any influence but within the Milky Way: We just got there and are still figuring what the difference is. Wild guess I'd say time will increase in speed, now and until V-ger is outside the Ort cloud.
    •Local Group's time bubble or the rate/flow of time outside of any influence but within the Local Group: Name still open and unknown. Wild guess .08 P-22% to a couple seconds faster, maybe. Used just for reference.
    •Outside any influence in the, "True Interstellar Time Standard." (or T.I...) ;-P This name is NOT up for grabs. The rate/flow of time is fastest here. (Time flows fastest here so it's best to use a motor boat and hold tight. Always applies when you're in T.I....) ;-P
    A minute is a minute in all. It's the rate/flow I'm talking about. Heck, rivers of time flowing differently might explain dark energy and dark matter.
    The Milky Way's Interstellar Time Standard will be known as, "Mikey's Time."

    I just read that the oort cloud extends from 2000 au out to 100,000 au. Alfa Centari is about 269,000 au. If alfa centari has an oort cloud the same length does that mean that the clouds might overlap. AND does that mean that there is a Lagrange like point in between SOL and alfa centari where objects might collect like Jupiter's Trojans?

I think it’s not as dense as the illustrations show (as the Voyager probe passed through it with no difficulty). WAIT!

BUT that doesn't mean it's totally fake, that we don't know what it's shape really is. All GOOD educational animations of celestial objects of the last 25 years are done with the most loving care using the most up to date, very real information gleaned through the observations from the human spacecraft and ground based observatories and models created by researchers in astronomy and physics. Some animations are sensational crap, but serious scientific establishments do want to get as accurate as possible, their animations making the data and conclusions they learned easier to understand for the rest of us humans on the planet.

    I am a science guy for sure. But when it comes to certain realms of "science" -- including this one -- we are just "making this up as we go". Rather than reasoning from observable data, to making a hypothesis and then testing it, the scientists make up a hypothesis that fits whatever they observe, to explain what they cannot explain. This is OK -- a best attempt to explain the unknown -- but it is not science.

Don't mistake being sceptical with questioning and denying everything ;) I assume good intentions because I am tired of dealing recently with anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers and climate change deniers. Near-parabolic comets are not interstellar because they do not have escape velocity. Since they have calculated orbital periods it is not difficult to grasp. When error bars are too wide, however, the period is marked as uncertain. Astronomers had no issues spotting high velocities of objects such as Oumuamua or 2I/Borisov. Sure, it is not absolute proof, but I think hundreds of icy objects in the range of expected for Oort cloud "evidence that supports its existence".
