Now, a new computational study has revealed a surprising structure – a spiral generated by the tidal forces exerted by the Milky Way galaxy itself. The finding, in press at The Astrophysical Journal, ...

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 ...

The mysterious Oort cloud is the source of many of our solar system's comets, but astronomers still have no idea what it looks like. Now, new simulations may have given them a first glimpse.
