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

The Solar System continues to surprise us day after day and its presence in terms of dominance and expansion goes far beyond ...

Estimating the cloud's structure requires more than understanding ... According to their model, the Oort cloud looks like a spiral disk about 15,000 au across, offset by the ecliptic by about ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA's Pleiades supercomputer has revealed an unexpected spiral structure within the inner ...

"We were quite surprised," Dones continued. "Spirals are seen in Saturn's rings, disks around young stars and galaxies. The ...

Even the little-understood Oort Cloud, at the outer edges of our solar system beyond view, has a partly spiral structure.

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 ...

Most of the long-period comets in the Solar System come from the outer Oort Cloud. The inner region is much more stable. It's ...

Pairing an analytic model with the supercomputer simulation, they concluded that the numerous bodies within the inner Oort cloud form a spiral structure that stretches about 15,000 au in length and is ...

Now, researchers have developed a new model that suggests the inner structure of the Oort cloud may look like a spiral disk. They published their findings Feb. 16 on the preprint server arXiv ...

Now, a new model suggests that the inner part of the Oort Cloud may have an unexpected structure resembling a spiral, much like a miniature galaxy. The Oort Cloud begins roughly 2,000 – 5,000 ...
