Does that mean that our regular dryer could be use to jump-travel to the edge of our solar system? 🤯 I have a genuine local wormhole in my basement and I didn't know it! 🤦🏻♂️😞😫
What they found was (1) solar system and absolute deep black in all other directions. Voyager(s) proved that decades ago. We're all alone in a black void of unknown size.
I started to look up an image on the internet that would show me the Opik-Oort Cloud vs. the Kuiper belt and before I was successful this video beat me to it at 5:57. Well done Ad Astra, and I think I'll subscribe to this channel!
Since the Oort cloud may extend almost halfway to the nearest stars, and since it does NOT conform to the flat plane of the solar system, and since other stars may have equivalents to the Oort cloud, could some members of the Oort cloud be captured from other stars? If so, they might be much older than our solar system. Good video!
Absolutely. There could be all sorts of alien (to our solar system) junk in there, albeit many interstellar objects with a decent velocity might go right through it.
This simple plain description of the outer solar system really helps Yes, we maybe a weirdly shaped system, with our gas giants in odd places, I like it!
I have always been taught the Oort Cloud is the outer portion of the Solar system. The edge that stretches out to halfway to the next star. Part of it in, part of it out of Sol's influence. Also, I believe your timescale for Voyager reaching the Oort Cloud is way too small. Three hundred years or so, I believe.
The real question is how much small matter is out there between stars? I think I’ve heard it’s estimated there’s three times more matter than can be accounted for in stars and planets that makes up our galaxy to account for how it holds together. Dark Matter because all that stuff is far from stellar light? Is that what makes super distant stars twinkle as they eclipse them?
The things about "dark matter" is that it should be undetectable except for the very _very_ faint gravitational effect it would have on normal matter. And, its effect is only detectable when it accumulates over a long, _long,_ *LONG* distance! Not just within our solar system, nor our galaxy nor even our Galactic Cluster! But, over LONG DISTANCES!! 🌌 (But, just to be clear, I will say again that I don't believe in Dark Matter or Dark Energy. I still say the effects we attribute to it could all be explained if the gravitational constant of the universe is just a tiny, _tiny,_ miniscule amount stronger than we believe.
I once heard an estimate of thousands of dwarf planets in the Oort cloud from someone fairly famous.. I think they were one of the big names in the pluto debate. Has that opinion fallen out of favour?
I don't think it has fallen out of favor so much as most don't even try to debate it anymore. According to Isaac Arthur, President of the National Space Society, depending on how the definition of a planet is interpreted we have anywhere from a few planets to millions of planets in this solar system alone. It seems that no matter how we define a planet, not even all the major planets fit the definition. So I think most have just given up for now.
The NASA group that gets funding to study minor planets and asteroids spearheaded the campaign to demote Pluto to a minor planet so that they could get funding to study the Pluto-related data from the New Horizons Probe.
Maybe Oort clouds in interstellar space is an answer to the Fermi Paradox making it promlematic to near light speed travel causing high tech aliens to move out into cleaner intergalactic space.
Thank you for sharing the video it was very interesting & fascinating. The way you described it sounds like the Torus shape which is a very powerful shape indeed. Great presentation. 👍
It's theoretical. We have directly observed long-period comets and we think they originate in the Oort Cloud, so from that perspective there has been direct observation of objects within the Oort Cloud, but we haven't seen anything as part of the Oort Cloud, if that makes sense.
Not surprising at all. The rings around planets like Saturn are the same principle. Planets spin, the solar system spins. I’m sure the Kuiper Belt has other functions too.
Our solar system is defined by what’s under the influence of the magnetic field of our sun. The Oort Cloud is not which is why it’s not considered part of our solar system.
Bigger question,... When do we start dropping these icy bodies on Mars and Venus, to get enough water to make them liveable? If we can clump the rocks left over in to a moon for Venus, that'd hel po too.
wait... the gas giants were first nearer, then moved OUT (away) from the sun ?? civilian / pedestrian / non-astronomer me is wondering....... HOW?!?? someone explain this please
The expension happens on a scale of lightyears. Millions of lightyears. Gravity is keeping the solar system together. However the (conjectural) Oort cloud is so far out, it probably exchanges comets with oort clouds surrounding other stars.
Pluto is still a planet, that's why it's called a dwarf PLANET. (the word "planet" in the term "dwarf planet" indicates the existence of a planet which is a kind of planet)
This is not a comment on whether Pluto is or is not a planet. This is solely about the use of language. You are taking "dwarf" to be an adjective modifying "planet". But I think "dwarf planet" is its own term that may or may not be related to planets. Perhaps it is simply a matter of looking similar to a planet but isn't really a planet. If I take your approach I could argue that a guinea pig is a pig when in fact it is a rodent.
So you're saying a dwarf galaxy isn't really a galaxy? And doesn't that also mean a dwarf human isn't really... well... human? To be clear, Uranus and Neptune really aren't planets either, they're "ice planets" and we'd better get the silly notion that "gas planets" are planets either. Also - Mars, Earth, Venus and Mercury aren't planets either, those are technically "rocky planets". FUN FACT - Our star actually has no known planets at all. No one has ever actually seen a plain old ordinary planet because there are none in our solar system.
@@RonColeArt My comment was only about the term "dwarf planet". I will use whatever definition of that term that astronomers use. Unless I am mistaken, they do not currently include dwarf planets in the category of planets. You are free to define your own terms just don't expect everyone to understand what you mean when you and they use the same term but in different ways.
Fascinating but I think the presenter should first of all had a very much slower delivery, maybe a deeper voice, and more credentials like having worked at the Johnson space center in Houston, etc.
The Kuiper belt is big, but its density in terms of object distribution is very low. The objects inside it don't come close to each other. Pluto is only about 2375 km across, the Earth about 12750 km. On top of that Pluto like the other Kuiper belt objects has a very low mass density, between rock and ice. The Earth's moon is almost 6 times more massive than Pluto. And Earth is about 400 times more massive... As a Kuiper belt object, Pluto is pretty large. There are only a handful kbos that are known so far that come close to its size or mass. The rest are just large rocks (with a lot of ice).

Hi Astra ! Thanks for your efforts as a Science Commentator. Anyway, let me critisize what you say in here: Is the Kupier Belt edge of the Solar System ? (Obviously, not !) You better try to define the 'Edge/Boundary of a Star/Solar System !) in one of your new videos. You better to explain the relationship or difference of the gravitational and electromagnetic effects of the Sun/Star. When you say 'Edge' (Boundary ?) of the Solar System, what do you mean (or, what do you accept), as a physical/measurable parameters ? With this 'brain-storming' you may evaluate the position of the Voyager spacecrafts. Is NASA's claim on this issue acceptable ?
It's bad enough there are ads before during and after the video. Now Content Creators inflict their ads on us as part of the video. Why doesn't RUclips just go to all ads and no content? They are close to that already.
Ah Pluto to planet or not to planet that is the question. Personally I think the concept of "planets" is ridiculous! Let's take 8 objects and call them a group, suggesting similarities... so Mercury, Earth and Jupiter 😂 We don't need this group name each object of interest already has a name or number. Instead we actually have "Solar Orbiting Bodies" primary orbit around the Sun, and Cluster Orbiting Bodies that orbit each other as they orbit the sun. To communicate information you don't need this obsolete "wandering star" name and that way you don't need rediculas definitions that waste time on arguments. And Earth was never a "wandering star" until we realised the other objects are not stars! Science moved on, and should move on again. So, No Planets , No Moons, SOBs COBs covers everything from a rock to Jupiter. Afterall anything of scientific interest has a name or number and when communicating you always have to give more information because the term "Planet" or "Moon" simply doesn't help.
You just _have to_ pour gasoline all over a perfectly peaceful and smooth topic, to invite someone to throw a match at it, don't you?

Certainly. Certainly, objects from one Oort could be knocked into another.
I suspect it could be fairly easy, in certain cases.

Some mighty big farts out there.
Interesting information.

Pluto is a planet

...ish
No it isn't. Do some research, bud.
@@nuntana2take your own advice, bud, starting with the philosophy of science.
@@nuntana2 actually Pluto is a planet. There are an estimated 660,000 minor planets orbiting the Sun.
Interesting video! One nitpick. Voyager 1 will reach the inner part of the Oort Cloud, (if it exists), in around 300 years not 30.
Very well explained in simple terms.
Maybe Oort clouds in interstellar space is an answer to the Fermi Paradox making it promlematic to near light speed travel causing high tech aliens to move out into cleaner intergalactic space.
I like that idea. That they somehow found away to exist in the void between galaxies. Would explain the lack of them in our own galaxy in a sense.
@@Mornomgir Galaxies are dangerous places. Maybe necessary to get life started but can easily end it too.
A giant smelly cosmic fart made them move.
Thank you for sharing the video it was very interesting & fascinating. The way you described it sounds like the Torus shape which is a very powerful shape indeed. Great presentation. 👍
How did both voyage 1&2 get threw the outer one??
QUESTION: has there ever been direct observation of the oort cloud?
or is it just theoretical??

We still have a lot to learn about the universe!👍👍
No the propaganda coming from Nasa.
? The outer planets are Gaseous where the kuiper belt and objects (pluto) are rocky. I'm not understanding the relationship?
Smaller objects are rocky/icy. All the gas/ice giant planets have rocky moons.
* our solar system is not static it's actually moving extremely fast kuiper belt and oort cloud is the halo of our stars fusion
Not surprising at all. The rings around planets like Saturn are the same principle. Planets spin, the solar system spins. I’m sure the Kuiper Belt has other functions too.
So if comets come from the Ort cloud why is it not part of the solar system?

I'll do a video on this!
Thanks for another fascinating video!
Maybe all that rocky rubble is what is left over from the last time our Sun did a micro nova ?? And maybe our Sun is getting ready to do it again ??
If the universe is expanding at a rapid rate , them why arent the ort cloud and kiper belt not changing
The expension happens on a scale of lightyears. Millions of lightyears. Gravity is keeping the solar system together. However the (conjectural) Oort cloud is so far out, it probably exchanges comets with oort clouds surrounding other stars.
