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 ...

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 ...

We have a rough idea of the size and shape of this field, but the fine particulars elude our understanding. Now, a new computational study has revealed a surprising structure – a spiral generated by ...

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 ...

At the edge of our solar system, a host of large, icy bodies make up the Oort cloud, which appears to sport two spiral arms reminiscent of a disk-shaped galaxy. New research founded upon a simulation ...

According to simulations, this portion is more of a torus, or donut shape, extending from 1,000 to 10,000 astronomical units. Most of the long-period comets in the Solar System come from the outer ...
