Astronomers Detect Unexpected Activity in Largest Oort Cloud Comet

Astronomers have made an astonishing discovery about comet C 2014 UN271, the largest comet ever detected in the Oort Cloud. Despite being over a billion miles from the Sun, the comet is venting carbon monoxide gas, a phenomenon that was not expected at such a great distance. This comet, also known a... [More info]

Fascinating: ESA is now preparing the Comet Interceptor mission

The spacecraft will be launched in 2029 into a parking orbit, lying in wait for a suitable target – a pristine comet from the Oort Cloud, or, unlikely but highly appealing, an interstellar object.

Tohle je fasicnující - naprostou náhodou bylo díky vizualizaci reálných dat zjištěno, že Oortův oblak má ve skutečnosti tvar spirály (něco jako minigalaxie kolem Sluneční soustavy!)

If my simple mathematical model holds, a comet in the Oort cloud who runs a 1.2 million year word-of-mouth campaign against the inevitable incursion of the star Gliese 710 will need to personally convince 42 comets if they want to get 5% of the cloud’s 20 trillion space rocks to sign their petition.

Mucho se habla por estos días de las hazañas de las I y II las cuales salieron ya de la y están cruzando la (Nube de Oort) de la cual, saldrán dentro de 2.000 años, quizá cuando la humanidad ya no sea la misma ó esté extinta.
Es una hazaña dramática y la gente de este mundo no es consciente de lo que pasa "allá" fuera. Me da terror...a ti no?.

The vastness of Space, the Oort cloud and Voyager🧪

“Voyager 1, the fastest and farthest of the interplanetary space probes currently leaving the Solar System, will reach the Oort cloud in about 300 years and would take about 30,000 years to pass through it.”

Illustration of earth and our solar system compared to the Oort Cloud.

Astronaut Chris Hadfield writes, "The size boggles my mind - that tiny thing in the middle is our solar system, surrounded by a huge Oort Cloud of dust, ice and rock. All held together by our Sun’s gravity."
