The NASA boffins in white coats and thick-rimmed glasses have detected new signals that show the Oort cloud - the spooky ...
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 ...
Using a NASA supercomputer to run models, researchers led by SwRI astronomer David Nesvorny now believe that the Inner Oort cloud looks like a spiral disk, around 0.24 light-years across, with two ...
Have you ever wondered how astronomers manage to map out the Milky Way when it's so incredibly vast? One of the most powerful ...
