Unknown spiral structure discovered at the edge of our solar system.

To think of our solar neighborhood as a tight little cluster of planets, reality is far more expansive. Be4 Neptune, a crowd of frozen bits & pieces lingers in Kuiper Belt, yet only the start of our Sun’s extended family. Farther out – about 9.3 trillion miles away – sits the Oort Cloud, some refer to as outermost boundary of Solar System. This region believed to hold countless icy objects still feel Sun’s pull, no matter how faint. Many viewed this area as a scattered collection, with its bodies quietly resting in near isolation, according to a recent study, there"s a surprising spiral pattern in inner Oort Cloud, that runs much deeper than a random sprinkling of frozen debris.

Kuiper Belt, yet that is only the start of our Sun’s extended family. Farther out – about 9.3 trillion miles away – sits the Oort Cloud, which some refer to as the outermost boundary of the Solar System. This region is believed to hold countless icy objects that still feel the Sun’s pull, no matter how faint. Many have viewed this area as a scattered collection, with most of its bodies quietly resting in near isolation. However, according to a recent study, there is a surprising spiral pattern in the inner Oort Cloud that runs much deeper than a random sprinkling of frozen debris.


Understanding the Oort Cloud – the basics
The Oort Cloud is usually divided into two zones. The outer part stretches in a spherical shell and starts at around 10,000 astronomical units from Sun, inner Oort Cloud begins closer in – roughly 1,000 astronomical units out – forms what once considered a disc-shaped region. Scientists have long believed that outer shell experiences more disruptions from passing stars, while inner zone is held together by the Sun’s gravity.
