I’ve only recently started to truly appreciate how vast the greater universe is. But this video gave me a whole new insight on just how vast our own solar system is!
After watching countless space videos throughout the years, I’ve become more familiar with the huge scales of distances between objects because I hear them so much. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still insanely and incomprehensibly large, but I wasn’t shocked. But hearing just how big the Oort Cloud actually is blew my mind. The fact that Voyager I has traveled roughly 7 hours worth of light speed of distance and the Oort Cloud extends for 18 MONTHS worth of distance is absolutely insane.
Part of me wants to believe one our space probes makes its way into another solar system many thousands of years later to be discovered by a space faring people. Long after we’re gone, our existence will remain in what we have left behind
I can't help but wonder what it would be like to land on a mile wide object in the oort cloud and just sit there in the vastness of space. It would be a depressingly lonely place but also an extremely peaceful and quiet place.
Intriguing idea. I'd reckon that we'd not be able to spot any other Oort Cloud members, even when sitting on one of its objects. The Universe has that habit if repeatedly telling us "No, no. That's your daily life scale. The cosmos is qualitatively different. Forget what you might 'see'. Think more in terms of time, for ultimately that's what vastness really means - abyssal, imponderable periods of time"
No internet, no radio waves, no light once the electricity if the battery died. Just darkness lit by feint starlight until you died. Peaceful, indeed. And, in millions of years, you would never decompose.
Incredible to think that we peer right through the Oort Cloud every time we look at our neighboring stars, it’s an invisible wisp of matter that barely registers amongst the brightness of the stars. Thanks for making this video, it was particularly good.
The distance between the comets, asteroids and even larger objects would be at least several if not more than ten A.U. One A.U. is 93,000,000 miles or 150,000,000 kilometers. Because of the very sparse distribution of bodies in the Oort cloud, and their jet black surfaces, we look right through it.
It’s so wild to think about the scale of these absolute mega structures. The Oort Cloud in particular. When you put the scale of the universe into perspective, it tends to make you not stress as much about that next presentation. Stop stressing y’all. Enjoy it while we got it.
I was thinking about the absolute astonishing scale of the universe and all the beautiful yet utterly chaotic things in it, and came to a deep realization that we all all infinitely small and insignificant, so I stopped stressing about it. My landlord and bill collectors don’t give a fuck, apparently.
This is also one of my favourites for night time relaxing, SEAs narration is second to none 🥇 my kids fall asleep while I learn about our beautiful universe ✨

Nonetheless, thanks, but just had to clear it up before I said thanks, because I don't mean to say I'm the creator
The real mind-blowing thing is that our universe may be a size that is unlimited for us, it still is finite! So, we have all the advantages of an infinite universe without the physics problems it would have of it actually _were_ infinite! 😃 We will never be able to run out of more universe to explore. And if we did explore it all, doing so would take so long that when were done we would have forgotten what we had learned at the start, and have to start all over. 👏
I still remember seeing the Hale-Bopp fly by. I was like 4 years old, clear sky, waiting for the ice cream truck with my mom and she tells me to look up. Something I'll never forget.
I do too. Even though the previous approach to us was 4,200 years ago, and it will be 2,400 years in the future when Hale-Bopp comes back, it goes nowhere near the inner Oort or Hills Cloud today even though it likely was there long ago. Hale-Bopp was the most spectacular of the dozens of comets I observed.
I‘m always super excited when I see you uploaded a new video. Definitely one of the best documentary channels on UA-cam. Keep up the great work dude :)

If the sun were to suddenly disappear, it would take 18 months for the light of the sun to actually fade out. It's light would still be there, but the actual sun would be lone gone. It's crazy, and that happens all the time, especially in the massive scale of the universe in millions and billions of light years. We are only just seeing the light of events that have already stopped thousands of years ago.
@@qwertydavid8070 well no, it’s light would shine for basically forever, so long as you’re far enough away. Many of the stars we see in the sky are already dead, we see them as they were millions of years ago, and the same is true the other way around.

I just love how theoretical concepts turn into known facts. No object has been observed in the distant Oort Cloud itself, leaving it a theoretical concept for the time being, but this guy describes its existence as fact, and even tells us how many objects exist in this never observed theoretical entity?
It's almost maddening when you begin to grasp how truly vast and extreme some of the distances mentioned in this video really are. Then you start to realize how mind numbingly insignificant they actually are when you compare those distances to the ones between just two stars, then you move to star clusters, then branches of the Milky-way, then between Us and the Andromeda galaxy.

From the Legends Series to Maps from Hell, to the absolutely incredible and beautiful space videos, this guy has a standard for quality that goes above and beyond 99% of youtubers today. I myself have been fascinated by the universe since I was a few years old, and I'm so greatfull to SEA for making these incredible videos. I've been a fan for years, and I'll always be a fan.
I never tire of revisiting your channel. Thanks for producing these well done, carefully researched videos. There's something compelling and a bit unnerving about the scale and size of the Oort Cloud. I'm an old amateur back garden astronomer and enjoy imaging comets. The immense distances and orbital periods of these primordial objects are mind melting.
"The Oort cloud is one of many fascinating things we don't see when we look up at the night sky and other stars. Each tiny speck of light from the sky abstracts the intricacy of its system from its planet and moons right out to its Oort cloud; the vast hidden shell that lies in the space between stars." What a poetic concluding paragraph
There are a few more. David Butler is one. He hits just the right note with his measured pace. Anton Petrov for a daily science hit can’t be beat too. Event Horizon, Fermilab....all good for cosmology and things weirdly quantum.
Finally a great explanatory and well done video about the objects in the outer solar system and specifically the Oort Cloud. Your voice together with the way you narrate is almost like poetry 🙂 Thank you. Keep up the great work! /Mack
6:00 so hard to imagine light actually being too slow to travel certain distances regardless that its instantaneous to us in our lives. Trying to imagine light traveling, cant wrap my head around that one.
25000 years to get beyond the solar system? It amazes me how far away everything is from each other. When you see a shot of a galaxy it looks like everything is lumped together so close. It is because there would be absolutely no way to view it at scale. Crazy
Plus most of us don't comprehend scales, and tend to think 9f the planets as being about the same distance apart, when the reality is that most planets in our Solar System are at least 50% further from the Sun as the next innermost planet, often more. one example is Saturn and Uranus, where Uranus is roughly twice as far from the Sun as Saturn. Neptune isn't quite as extreme, but is 10AU further out again (from Uranus), which is the same distance as Saturn is from the Sun. Get to Saturn and we are just a third of the way to Neptune, assuming a pile of things that include the shortest distance between the two planets, whereas the actual distance travelled by Voyager 2 was considerably greater.
"We'll never be able to understand another star system better than we understand our own" I mean... yeah. Even if we could go to other systems, I think ours would be more explored.
Right. The narration is generally so high quality that a statement like this grabs your attention even the more so. SEA deserves forgiveness for the occasional blooper...
Your work is really the best thing that exists on UA-cam. Of all the video's I've seen through the years, yours are the best. I hope you will continue to create these excellent and teaching videos for a long time! Cheers
I began watching your videos last week, and I’ve been so amazed by all the facts, distances and phenomena. Thank you for makning these videos. You are awesome.
Oort is a Dutch name, pronounced the same as 'oord', which is our word for place. Hence, No-man's Oordt would work. I put way too much thought into that pun
Even our vast solar system in its majestic grandeur has tons of building rubble dumped down the back of the garden behind the shed, next to the yellow bucket with a hole in it and the moss covered trampoline 😅
One of the few channels where I actually seek to re watch it's videos & enjoy just as much as the very first time. 😊👍💯💕 Great Quality content!!! Thank you!!
Think about how big this is and that's only about 1/4 the distance to the closest star. Yet when we look in the sky we can see galaxies with billions of stars all just as far apart as a single small point... That's how far away it is.
Good video. Amazing how complex is our solar system. I wonder what is going on in other systems or galaxies. Born too late for earth exploration, born too early for space travel :(
It is an amazing, unique, awe inspiring place to be alive in. We are only a blink in time. Enjoy your moment, regardless of the reason of its origin or what is responsible!!!
I wonder when the last time a star may have possibly come close enough to perturb the cloud. If the cloud extends that far out, then one could assume that we could scale other clouds to the size of the host star. These interactions could explain increased comet activity or impact activity on the inner planets.
It is a bit like wondering when was the last time an airplane flew over your house. It is something that happens arbitrarily and out of our control with no consequences. 🤷🏼♂️
Would love if they utilized the vasimir engine or a nuclear engine. The vasimir would surpass/catch up to the Voyager one probe in approximately 20 years and the nuclear would catch up in about 40 years. We need to utilize are best and fastest technology to explore the rest of the oort cloud. We would've hit the inner edge of the oort cloud 20 years ago.
This topic is incredibly humbling, more so than hearing about the distances to other galaxies. Like, we can launch a telescope and see things so far away that the age of the universe itself is the limiting factor. But good luck trying to actually get anywhere even in our own galaxy. Even the nearest star is pretty much unreachable. As a species, our own solar system really is all we will ever have
It's really hard to believe that our part of the universe is so protected from the chaos of the heavens. We have the oort cloud, a asteroid belt and massive planets shielding us from total annihilation. And it's all just luck? It's just so crazy to believe. Maybe that in its self would be the reason aliens would be interested to come here.
It's not lucky at all but sadly for people know tha our solar system is not special at all... regularly every solar systems has gigantic gas planets and has asteroids rings and everything.
I often wonder what it would be like to be able to leave the bounds of our planet and explore other bodies in our Solar System. To be able to land on and sit on a rock in the Oort Cloud with nothing but the silent void and my own thoughts is awe-inspiring. I often loathe that I was born to late to explore the seas and too early to explore the galaxy. Perhaps our children, or their children will look back and view us pioneers, perhaps they will view us as primitive peoples, we may never know, but I am hopeful that humanity will live to chart the stars as our ancestors charted the seas, i am hopeful we find peace in scientific discovery and the beauty of the universe, and perhaps our future generations may lie on the beds of their space ships and drift off to sleep while gazing upon foreign worlds amd beautiful nebulae that they know of by our primitive names. Will they remember Earth, their ancestral homeland, or will Eart become simply another planet among many? Will they remember us, or become lost amongst the long history of mankind? It is awesome that we live in the age of discovery, but sad that those bodies we find are ones we may never visit in our lifetimes, but our children will. That is what gives me hope, hope that humanity will become as numerous asbthe stars in space. If you read this, thank you. I am simply an imaginative soul who loves to gaze up and wonder... "What-If?" Remember to always stop and look up and admire that which we are apart of.

There are a few more. David Butler is one. He hits just the right note with his measured pace. Anton Petrov for a daily science hit can’t be beat too. Event Horizon, Fermilab....all good for cosmology and things weirdly quantum.
Finally a great explanatory and well done video about the objects in the outer solar system and specifically the Oort Cloud. Your voice together with the way you narrate is almost like poetry 🙂 Thank you. Keep up the great work! /Mack
6:00 so hard to imagine light actually being too slow to travel certain distances regardless that its instantaneous to us in our lives. Trying to imagine light traveling, cant wrap my head around that one.

You showing an exact scale of how large the Oort Cloud was in comparison to the rest of the solar system gave me an existential crisis.
This is exactly what I needed today. Couldn't be more grateful. 🥰
Has an oort cloud been seen around another solar system ? They have found thousands of exoplanets.
Nope. Because ""if"" an oort cloud did exist, the material would be so small compared to the sun and sooooo far apart that no one can see it.
Iirc we also haven't even confirmed the presence of our Oort cloud!
@@garypalmer997 makes sense.
Not so far... That's another reason we should be thinking seriously the possibility our planet is special.
@@georgeisaak5321 it is🤗
We OORT-A send more probes out there.....
25000 years to get beyond the solar system? It amazes me how far away everything is from each other. When you see a shot of a galaxy it looks like everything is lumped together so close. It is because there would be absolutely no way to view it at scale. Crazy
Plus most of us don't comprehend scales, and tend to think 9f the planets as being about the same distance apart, when the reality is that most planets in our Solar System are at least 50% further from the Sun as the next innermost planet, often more. one example is Saturn and Uranus, where Uranus is roughly twice as far from the Sun as Saturn. Neptune isn't quite as extreme, but is 10AU further out again (from Uranus), which is the same distance as Saturn is from the Sun. Get to Saturn and we are just a third of the way to Neptune, assuming a pile of things that include the shortest distance between the two planets, whereas the actual distance travelled by Voyager 2 was considerably greater.
Upon first contact with the cloud, all humans will be psychicly alerted that they can now play as Luigi, and that pvp has been enabled.
I have watched every single one of your episodes bud, well done 💪.
Reddit wants to know your location
"We'll never be able to understand another star system better than we understand our own"
I mean... yeah. Even if we could go to other systems, I think ours would be more explored.
Praise the Lord praise the Lord praise the Lord

Right. The narration is generally so high quality that a statement like this grabs your attention even the more so.
SEA deserves forgiveness for the occasional blooper...
Your work is really the best thing that exists on UA-cam.
Of all the video's I've seen through the years, yours are the best.
I hope you will continue to create these excellent and teaching videos for a long time!
Cheers
Thank you so much! 😀
I began watching your videos last week, and I’ve been so amazed by all the facts, distances and phenomena. Thank you for makning these videos. You are awesome.
I wish these videos were on spotify, I would love to listen on long drives.
This was .. Oort of this world! ................ * crickets * ............. I'll go hide in the corner of shame now - in any case: great vid, SEA!
I liked that one, no crickets! Thank you 🙏
@@SEA thanks man - love your channel
This is one of the best and most informative videos I have ever seen.
Insterstellar no-man's land?
you mean... *No Man's Sky?* :D
I'llleavenow
suuuuuch a good game now
Oort is a Dutch name, pronounced the same as 'oord', which is our word for place. Hence, No-man's Oordt would work.
I put way too much thought into that pun
@@butHomeisNowhere___ yup
Sorry, just under 6 minutes in and my brain just trickled out of my right ear!😮mind totally blown..already
Even our vast solar system in its majestic grandeur has tons of building rubble dumped down the back of the garden behind the shed, next to the yellow bucket with a hole in it and the moss covered trampoline 😅
The Oort cloud just sounds cool!! And is enjoyable to say!!
The Oort cloud is really an alien spaceship powered by the sun.
Why is it in pieces?
@@whothehellarewe Because it is an alien spaceship powered by the sun dummy.
WHERE have you been man! Gosh I’ve missed your vids (3 weeks is a long time ok) but still worth every minute when the vid drops
Quality over quantity all day long that's what makes his videos special
Great vid! The music is relaxing, in the background.
Your voice is steady, clear.
So is the content 👌👌
One of the few channels where I actually seek to re watch it's videos & enjoy just as much as the very first time. 😊👍💯💕 Great Quality content!!! Thank you!!
Love your content. 1 of the best channels on UA-cam
Think about how big this is and that's only about 1/4 the distance to the closest star. Yet when we look in the sky we can see galaxies with billions of stars all just as far apart as a single small point... That's how far away it is.
The scale of the universe is truly incredible
Hit like as soon as it started.
I know the video will be great.
Videos like this help me forget all the insanity in the world and let my imagination wander
The size of the Oort cloud is amazing!
As is the size of the gravitational reach of the Sun.😮
I remember seeing Hyakatake. Still the only comet I've seen with my own eyes.
dude these videos are so good, when sea updates my day automatically becomes better. thanks again man!
SEA the kinda guy to make a living on fiverr for his voice overs
SEA and Astrum. They have veery soothing voices.
SEA and Astrum collab when

UA-cam USER listen to john michael godier his voice is like their’s and amazing
This is one of my favourite videos of all time lol and space 🌌
Thanks for posting this about the Oort cloud. Very interesting.
Good video. Amazing how complex is our solar system. I wonder what is going on in other systems or galaxies. Born too late for earth exploration, born too early for space travel :(
Plenty of earth exploration left. It just might be so small we can’t see it yet.
This channel deserves more views and subs. it's depressing to see this great youtuber be dwarfed by fortnite.
Yes
QT DOGGGOOOOOO
A topic I always wanted to see covered by Sea
So I'm very happy about this one
Always enjoy watching your posts.....thorough and concise. Keep going!!!
It is an amazing, unique, awe inspiring place to be alive in. We are only a blink in time. Enjoy your moment, regardless of the reason of its origin or what is responsible!!!
I wonder when the last time a star may have possibly come close enough to perturb the cloud. If the cloud extends that far out, then one could assume that we could scale other clouds to the size of the host star. These interactions could explain increased comet activity or impact activity on the inner planets.
It is a bit like wondering when was the last time an airplane flew over your house.
It is something that happens arbitrarily and out of our control with no consequences. 🤷🏼♂️
Would love if they utilized the vasimir engine or a nuclear engine. The vasimir would surpass/catch up to the Voyager one probe in approximately 20 years and the nuclear would catch up in about 40 years. We need to utilize are best and fastest technology to explore the rest of the oort cloud. We would've hit the inner edge of the oort cloud 20 years ago.
Your voice is so soothing ❤️
This topic is incredibly humbling, more so than hearing about the distances to other galaxies. Like, we can launch a telescope and see things so far away that the age of the universe itself is the limiting factor. But good luck trying to actually get anywhere even in our own galaxy. Even the nearest star is pretty much unreachable. As a species, our own solar system really is all we will ever have
My existencial crysis has awaken back up after this poem. It's been beautiful.
The best narrator along with ASTRUM's Alex. Thank you!

I FKING LOVE YOUR VIDS, YOUR VOICE EXPLAINING, please post more
Saw comet Toba 1970. Brilliant! Awesome God’s handiwork when set the stars in the sky.
Am I hallucinating or does everyone feel like they have already travelled this and looking at this info is giving you kinda deja vu
It's really hard to believe that our part of the universe is so protected from the chaos of the heavens. We have the oort cloud, a asteroid belt and massive planets shielding us from total annihilation. And it's all just luck? It's just so crazy to believe. Maybe that in its self would be the reason aliens would be interested to come here.
It's not lucky at all but sadly for people know tha our solar system is not special at all... regularly every solar systems has gigantic gas planets and has asteroids rings and everything.
Man went from talking about a cube game to being smarter than a science teacher and history teacher lol
I often wonder what it would be like to be able to leave the bounds of our planet and explore other bodies in our Solar System. To be able to land on and sit on a rock in the Oort Cloud with nothing but the silent void and my own thoughts is awe-inspiring. I often loathe that I was born to late to explore the seas and too early to explore the galaxy. Perhaps our children, or their children will look back and view us pioneers, perhaps they will view us as primitive peoples, we may never know, but I am hopeful that humanity will live to chart the stars as our ancestors charted the seas, i am hopeful we find peace in scientific discovery and the beauty of the universe, and perhaps our future generations may lie on the beds of their space ships and drift off to sleep while gazing upon foreign worlds amd beautiful nebulae that they know of by our primitive names. Will they remember Earth, their ancestral homeland, or will Eart become simply another planet among many? Will they remember us, or become lost amongst the long history of mankind? It is awesome that we live in the age of discovery, but sad that those bodies we find are ones we may never visit in our lifetimes, but our children will. That is what gives me hope, hope that humanity will become as numerous asbthe stars in space. If you read this, thank you. I am simply an imaginative soul who loves to gaze up and wonder... "What-If?" Remember to always stop and look up and admire that which we are apart of.
I loved this. You impressed on me the absolute vastness of the Oort Cloud. Thx
thou oort not underestimate the wonder of universe (i'll see myself out)
