NASA Supercomputer Uncovers a Mysterious Spiral Lurking at the Edge of the Solar System
A hidden structure at the farthest reaches of our solar system is challenging long-held theories. Using advanced simulations, a NASA supercomputer has revealed that the Oort Cloud, a vast shell of icy bodies surrounding the Sun,
NASA supercomputer reveals strange spiral structure at the edge of our solar system
The mysterious Oort cloud is the source of many of our solar system's comets, but astronomers still have no idea what it looks like. Now, new simulations may have given them a first glimpse.
Mysterious cloud at solar system’s edge found to host strange ‘mini galaxy’
The giant cloud of detritus is thought to be the source of strange comets and meteorites flying past Earth such as the mysterious cigar-shaped rock known as Oumuamua that was spotted in October 2017.
Mini galaxy at Solar System’s edge? NASA supercomputer uncovers twisting secrets of Oort Cloud
New research suggests the Oort cloud, a shell of icy objects at the edge of our solar system, may feature spiral arms similar to the Milky Way, revealing a complex cosmic structure beyond Pluto.
NASA supercomputer finds Milky Way-like spiral at solar system’s edge
NASA’s Pleiades supercomputer has provided fresh insights into the Oort cloud – ​​a vast, theoretical spherical shell of icy objects that surrounds our solar system. For a long time, the Oort cloud’s appearance has been unknown.
NASA supercomputer suggests the Oort Cloud may be a spiral, like a miniature galaxy
The Oort Cloud begins roughly 2,000 – 5,000 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun, with 1 AU being the average distance between Earth and the Sun.
