  • What lies at the edge of the Solar System? Far beyond the orbit of Neptune and the Kuiper Belt, deep into interstellar space, we find a vast, thick shell of icy space debris. We have never seen it directly, but we know it exists- because it is the source of the most distant comets that we see entering the Solar System. So why is it there? Today we'll find out, in a new episode of #OOTW

    After watching countless space videos throughout the years, I’ve become more familiar with the huge scales of distances between objects because I hear them so much. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still insanely and incomprehensibly large, but I wasn’t shocked. But hearing just how big the Oort Cloud actually is blew my mind. The fact that Voyager I has traveled roughly 7 hours worth of light speed of distance and the Oort Cloud extends for 18 MONTHS worth of distance is absolutely insane.

      The distance between the comets, asteroids and even larger objects would be at least several if not more than ten A.U. One A.U. is 93,000,000 miles or 150,000,000 kilometers. Because of the very sparse distribution of bodies in the Oort cloud, and their jet black surfaces, we look right through it.

      Intriguing idea. I'd reckon that we'd not be able to spot any other Oort Cloud members, even when sitting on one of its objects. The Universe has that habit if repeatedly telling us "No, no. That's your daily life scale. The cosmos is qualitatively different. Forget what you might 'see'. Think more in terms of time, for ultimately that's what vastness really means - abyssal, imponderable periods of time"

    • @owenshebbeare2999
      @owenshebbeare2999 Před 2 lety +1

      Plus most of us don't comprehend scales, and tend to think 9f the planets as being about the same distance apart, when the reality is that most planets in our Solar System are at least 50% further from the Sun as the next innermost planet, often more. one example is Saturn and Uranus, where Uranus is roughly twice as far from the Sun as Saturn. Neptune isn't quite as extreme, but is 10AU further out again (from Uranus), which is the same distance as Saturn is from the Sun. Get to Saturn and we are just a third of the way to Neptune, assuming a pile of things that include the shortest distance between the two planets, whereas the actual distance travelled by Voyager 2 was considerably greater.
