Is our solar system the only one in the galaxy that's surrounded by a cloud of ice and stone?
Surely other solar systems have their own Oort cloud.

[@RazorsharpLT]

They probably do, but they are so small they're certainly not visible to us.

[@bobkoroua]

We couldn't possibly know for sure.
It shows these objects as being close to each other and so dense but the truth is standing on one you would be unlikely to be able to see another.
The average distance between objects is around 1.2 trillion miles.

is this legit?

Yep
