You missed a golden opportunity with the video title: "Believe It Oort Not".
DanThePropMan.
You.....scishow titles need more of you..
wrg, say any nmw is ok
Funny, I was going to say he missed the chance for playing a great background track... ua-cam.com/video/uRn8d2O062A/v-deo.html
Naa, didn't like it.
Didn't like it.
Oml this video was posted in 2014 and the evidence for planet 9 just came out :OOO
Clearly it isn't new. What *is* new is the parameters that have been set for "planet nine" make it reasonable that it could be found through observation.
A few more objects in similar orbits have been found since this video was made, which gives more information about the likely mass, distance and orbital period of a potential "planet nine".
+Fatgargus92 Please, please tell me you're not talking about Nibiru.
Ken Oakleaf or maybe plan9 from outer space lmao
Philie Spiess what plan9 lol
Now there is evidence against the existence of that 9th planet.
I used to go to school with Jan Oort's grandson. Science teachers were always surprised to hear he was descended from the guy who discovered the Oort cloud.
I didn't expect less from SciShow but I'm happy to hear Jan Oort's name pronounced properly.
Oort is a scifi sounding name, so he was perfect for the job.
far out bro
awesome stuff !
... Is that pun intentional? If it is, it's awesome.
They demoted poor Pluto so we won't take as much notice if Nemesis snatches it back. ;oD
isn't there an unmanned ship that just left our solar system? will that ship be able to send back photos of the oort cloud?
It's just a probe, and it's only like ~128 AU away from the sun. The Oort cloud being like 2000 AU away makes it pretty much unlikely it'll ever reach it intact enough that we could check it out.
You're talking about Voyager1. It reached interstellar space, but still technically hasn't left the solar system. Also, the Oort Cloud is approximately a light year out. Voyager is no where close to a light year out. And sadly the cameras have been shut down on the probe for energy conservation. It is still transmitting some data though.
Two things we don't know about but talk about all the time
I hope they have more solid science foe the existance of the cloud other than, "it meets our need".
So, I assume ths means that other stars also have oort clouds. What about interstellar space then?
Fun fact: everytime you see a picture of the milky way, it is most likely a picture of the andromeda galaxy since we can't really see our own galaxy from the outside.
Bruh thank you
So, is the Oort Cloud unique, or do other star systems have similar clouds?
I'm working on a theory that the closest star to us has one, so that it gets named after me, but it's not ready yet.
Well the one in our solar system hasn't been observed yet, how would we observe the cloud around another star?
@@MegaKopfschmerzen Same way we always do for everything else. Observe it's effects on the light from more distant stars.
@@Arcsecant Well that would first have to work for our oort cloud before it can be applied to other stars. As for the method of detecting exoplanets, this will not work if the cloud is somewhat isotropic.
@@Arcsecant it's possible alpha centauri's oort cloud equivalent overlaps with ours
A ninth planet? ...I mean, again?
Yeah, we kinda just murdererd Planet Pluto because a sufficiently large number of scientists have an obsession with even numbers (that's the real reason why Pluto was demoted!!!11) and now we can't call Planet X Planet X anymore, because it's Planet IX?
MadnerKami
XDDDDDD I'm dying :)))))))
MadnerKami DannySwish Funny thing, while the discussion of Pluto has been for years, the decision really started when Sedna was found XD Sedna is an evil minion 8D
MadnerKami WRONG! Reptiloid infiltrators from the former Planet X are taking over the astronomical community to bump their hideous homeworld up in the listing. First Pluto. I guarantee they now have their probes warmed up and ready - URANUS IS NEXT!!!!!!
a red dwarf "maybe"...?
To solve the mysterys of space we assume that there is:
-Dark matter .
- oort cloud.
- white pickup truck.
And an SUV with mounted AA guns in Syria and Afghanistan.
True, no Oort cloud.
What if the Oort Cloud is actually the dust and debris between star systems.
The Oort cloud has never been proven. Pure speculation no science to back it up.
My monitor has a person inside of it talking to me... :/
same problem here too bro
Cool
That's just the drugs
dude... theres more airplanes in the sea than submarines in the sky :/
NakedAvanger ok.
Does anyone else think the thumbnail looks... weird?
+AgentWashingtub Like a penis?
MrDrifter762 Certainly phallic.
cosmic penis, i believe!!!
Wow. It's an ellipse.
Was searching through the entire comment section hoping to find this comment 😂
I can imagine perhaps 1000 years in the future when we are able to travel through space with practical engineering, they will look back at us thinking how ignorant we were about our knowledge with our 8 planets. They will probably log hundreds of hundreds new dwarf planets still unknown to us lol i wonder what they will name them.
Now I can imagine some giant mother planet hanging out in the Oort cloud saying, "alright dear, its your turn, go on in." everytime it sends a new comet into the inner solar system.
thank you, this explains the reason the theoretical 9th planet is so difficult to find. it also explains why the voyager probes are considered to be out of the solar system while they have yet to reach the oort cloud
I find it sad that in Reid's video, there are 18 comments (in top comments) before I get to one that actually talks about Reid as a person. Every comment before was in discussion of the video or some scientific aspect, or the two comments about the thumbnail looking like a dick. Whereas you go and look at the top comments in Caitlin's video, and within the first three there is some comment about her being ugly or annoying or not wanting to watch her. I really wish people watching these videos would just keep focusing on the science of it, and not the attractiveness of the individuals presenting it.
If it's so big and so close to us, how have we not discovered it if we've discovered smaller things much farther away?
We can detect earth like planets around other stars because they interact with those stars very directly. This planet would be so far from the sun that almost no light from the sun would reflect off of it, and none of our techniques for extrasolar planets work on planets in our own solar system (this channel has some good videos for more info on this).
Or, in the case of neutron stars, which are as small as a few kilometers in diameter, we can detect them because they are unbelievably bright. Size has little to do with detectability, it's all a matter of how much light they send our way.
Because the objects are so small, far from any stars, and emit no light of their own. Thus, they are almost impossible to see. Whereas stars can be big and bright enough to see from quite ridiculous distances, these comparatively miniscule balls of ice are basically invisible against the pitch black backdrop of space, and are far away enough to not even register as a discernible black speck in front of any stars we might happen to be looking at through the cloud.
This article explains it pretty well. astroengine.com/2008/08/22/why-cant-we-see-the-oort-cloud/
Detecting a star is very simple (relatively simple of course) than detecting a planet. A planet does not emit any sort of radiation, and if it does it's usually covered by more powerful radiation from the stars. Even though detecting an exoplanet is hard we have done it multiple times, but detecting a planet in the darkest part of the solar system is really difficult. First of all it will most likely be frozen (almost no emissions of radiation) and also it will not reflect any light because it's too far away from the sun. Our best hope is that its massive gravity makes the core hot, giving us a chance to detect it.
...because those small thing far away (I assume you mean planets around other stars) are detected not by trying to eyeball them but rather by detecting special circumstances that apply to them. Those same circumstance do not apply to comets in the Oort, and neither do eyeballs, so we're stymied.
Swedish Chef's official favorite part of the Solar system.
Oort Oort Oort!
Jim Henson would approve lol
Why can we see galaxies millions of light years away but can't see the oort cloud which is only .3 light years away?
Imagine it is a really dark night...
2 miles away there are 10,000 candles burning. While 20 feet away there is a dime...which are you more likely to see?
The hubble space telescope is fine tuned to see objects that are light years in size from very far distances. Trying to use it to see something very tiny but very close would be like trying to see detail on your finger if you hold it 1/4 of an inch away from your eye. It's almost like you see right through it.
No Oort cloud, no dark matter.
"We have absolutely no proof to show you but we believe it anyway." Sounds religious to me.
Because our claims are backed up by already known scientific fact, like how orbits work. Religion has no scientific basis.
+Elliot McGrath
Except it's not a fact. AT ALL! My god you are brain washed. Also funny because neither does the Oort cloud.
***** Lmao ok, troll
Elliot McGrath
Typical religious idiot... believes in things they have no proof of.
***** Oh, you actually are a troll. I was just saying that to piss you off, but it's obvious now. You actually had me, good job
where did we find him? Another brilliant presenter. There can't be many left in this universe.
My god this dude needs to BREATH
who would thumbs down this video........
+Danny Fallon It was me. I just really hate science and learning. I also just felt like he was talking down to me, or teach me or something... and I'm offended by the space background. And lastly because I'm kind of a miserable human being.
+David Evans that's okay mate we all have our moments.............
Danny Fallon Also because the diagram of the Oort cloud kinda looks like a penis and I felt like that was mosogynistic of the universe :P.
I have no thumbs
I agree. Awesome stuff.
If you look at the white in the flannel shirt, you can see the background graphic reimposed haha.
If another planet is found it would be so unfair for Pluto. They kick out Pluto out of the list of the Solar System planets and now they add a new one.
I can hear stupid people screaming "NIBIRU! REPENT! THE END IS NEAR!"
That's known as schizophrenia
Oddly, they aren't stupid. They have been injected with god. They had it done to them long before they could reason and decide things on a personal level of judgment. It was child abuse, but civilization is more built on that than a few centuries of reasonable thinking. Give it a few more centuries.
0:35 the same "logic and reason" that leads to religion. Welcome to the new faith.
Please don't! 😂😂😂
According to Islam, coments are missiles that Allah fires to keep the Devil at bay!! 😂😂😂😅😅😅
interesting thumbnail you've got there
Please do an episode on the planet 'Nibiru'! It's a really interesting theory just perfect for you guys. Keep up the good work!
Nibiru, planet X. THE END IS NEAR!
Well, technically that would be planet IX.....

An you people give us crap for believing in god
This troll rides a horse of irony
Oort cloud = reasonable, god = unreasonable. Oort cloud = science, god = superstition. Oort cloud = provable, god = non-existent, therefore unprovable. Anyone who still believes in god is fucking stupid.
astrophonix sure but not true
astrophonix if they are not sure this cloud exist but they say it's real there might as well say god is real just because rocks fly by earth doesn't mean this cloud exist but what gives you the right to call 5 billion people who believe in God's stupid because 90% of us are smarter than you
astrophonix We respect the fact that you don't believe in god. But by acting the way you are is making those who also don't believe in god look like complete douche-bags.
It amazes me how astronomers can see a star millions of lightyears away. But not a cloud with trillion of object in our own solar system.
Samuël Hitijahubessy Stars shine, the tiny objects in the Oort Cloud do not, they reflect light from the Sun, so it's very difficult to find them, let alone track them.
Analogy: you can see the Sun and the moon, but you cannot see the dust on the ground beyond the horizon unless you walk to it. But yes, it is surprising and counter-intuitive. Also shows how limited our means are at the moment. Need more space funding to just look around.
Thanks for clearing things up a bit for me! Yes space exploration needs more funding indeed.
Maby because it doesn't exist.
The objects in the oort cloud are far away from eachother
Believe it Oort Not
0:55 hold on... I thought the Solar System was about 26,600 light years from the center of the galaxy?
I was really expecting more "Nibiru/Planet X conspiracy" commets on this video...
+Mihai-Ciprian Ghilinta - Maybe they don't put out stupid conspiracy theorist stupidity crap for stupid people!
Do we know anything about an Oort cloud for the Alpha Centauri star system? With our Oort cloud reaching about 1 light year from our sun, I imagine the Alpha Centauri system would have a similar Oort cloud meaning the distance between the two would only be something like 2 light years. I guess this wouldn't really have any significance but it's cool to think about.
This guy looks like he should be stealing my wallet, not teaching me science
Or a front man in a hard rock band.
or doing judo
How mean :(
RockyD90 Haha, not saying he will. It's just a good example of how judging a book by it's cover is never smart.
...or selling you drugs.
So what about Kuiper belt objects? do they ever get knocked in to the solar system? are we constantly bombarded by chunk of pluto? What do we call meteorites made from pluto chuns? Plutonium? should I be worried?
"Massive, but as yet unknown body"?
It's obviously the bugs on Klendathu, trying to aim properly! We need to strike before they do!
"You know it's really there but you have no proof!" Rather stupid statement I would say
He apparently has "faith" that It exists.
So it's the cloud of the gaps LMFAO.
Good one!
dnrmafia Not really
An object that's 10X the size of earth out there and we haven't found it yet? That's......... wow
Talk about dark matter
And to think that Voyager is only 125 AU out. It's got a ways to go before it reaches the Oort cloud proper.
" We know it's there but we have no proof. " - That statement makes no sense. Care to be less intentionally misleading?
He's saying the same thing many astronomers say, like its pretty much a quote, especially on how the universe works
Furthermore, it took einstein 10 years to prove his theory of general relativity, he would claim to know that gravity bends light, creating a gravitational lense, astronomers working with him proved it. It took years to do as well retweaking a few thibgs in his theory, but he eventually had the evidence he needed. It was the same thing when he was proving that space-time is gravity and that the bigger the mass of an object, the more it warps time and space (space-time).
I read before that Comets have different Isotopes of Heavy Water compared to the water on earth, If we were all created from the same primordial gas cloud, wouldn't that mean that they potentially come from other gas clouds, aka... taken from other solar systems?
if the Milky way is 100.000 light years long and we are 19.200 light year away from the center, does it mean tha we are less then a quarter of our galaxy close to its center? that's so cool
Not quite. The milky way is about 100 000 light years in DIAMETER, so about a 50 000 light year radius from the center to the edges. That puts us about two-fifths (40%) of the way from the center. Still cool though :)
That's basically what I said.
I'll try to remember that less than 25% and 40% are basically the same thing.
Dude, you didn't understand what I'm talking about. Yes, I know the Milky Way is 100.000 light years in diameter and that's what I said in the comment if read it with enough attention.
1) The Milky Way is 100.000. Light years.
2) A quarter of 100.000 is 25.000.
3) The distance between the solar system and the center is 19.200 light year.
4) 19.200 < 25.000.
5) 19.200 is less than a quarter of our galaxy.
You guys are both technically correct, but you're both thinking differently. To Jack, the distance between our solar system and the center of our galaxy is less than 25% of the diameter of our galaxy because 19,200 ly is less than 25,000 ly, which is 25% of 100,000 ly. To Unicorn, the position of our solar system is 40% of the total distance from the center of our galaxy to the edge because we are located 19,200 ly away from the center out of a 50,000 ly radius.
Two questions. If the Oort cloud is a sphere surrounding our solar system, then we would have to look through the Oort cloud to see anything beyond our solar system. Since we can see billions of stars then we must be observing those stars through the Oort cloud so why have we not observed the Oort cloud? Second. Since we can see billions of stars which are centers of their own solar systems, have we observed Oort type clouds around any other solar system?
For your first question, although the cloud itself is large, the objects it contains are tiny, and very spread out, so it would be highly unlikely that we would see something. In answer to the second, I certainly haven't heard of anything like that being discovered, probably for the same reason - the only real method we've had of detecting exoplanets has been how the planet affects the amount of light coming from the star (it dims at certain intervals), so again, it would be extremely difficult to spot anything within an Oort-type cloud.
Thank you for your comment. I could see your first answer but in regards to the second. We can see light bouncing off of gas clouds in space and in the video the Oort cloud is described as being maybe a light year across for our solar system, conceivable larger for larger stars than ours. My point is it would represent a huge sphere of ice particles that should reflect their parent star's light like a dim halo. Not looking for any single object but the combined reflectivity of the entire cloud. Just wondering if anyone has ever observed such a halo effect around any star, if so it could be proof of Oort clouds.
I don't know why but I love this guy.
0:35 He did not just say that! You could use same argument as proof of a god - "We know god is there, because his existence answers a lot of questions".
NO!

“Science” in [current year]
Do a tour of the planets in our solar system! Either in one longer episode or a series of short episodes for each planet.
I love Sci Show Space and the subjects covered have been near and dear to my interests. I have a request though, that you use the word "theory" in it's scientific sense and not to mean hypothesis. Oort Hypothesized the existence of the cloud that surrounds the solar system, since his idea had not been tested nor come from direct observation. Once others had taken his idea and tested it they started to formulate a cohesive explanation for their observations, which would then be called a theory.
a theory is something that has been around for some time and has lots of supporting evidence but is either not fully completed or explained even though nothing disproves it YET. Time and increasing evidence will make it a scientific LAW. In case u didn't know. :)
WojosProductions Not true. Theories do not become laws. Laws are simple, mathematical expressions, basic facts and simple equations that apply universally; they just tell you what happens, they don't explain it. Theories are well-tested explanations of phenomena, supported by multiple lines of evidence, which provide the framework for understanding what we observe.
1 light-year thick? seems like many objects in the Oort cloud would have Extra-solar system origins; rather then just being left overs from our solar system.
deisisase
And you were around to see how large the pile...or CLOUD...of material that formed our solar system originally was? No? Then shaddap.
Please talk about the Nemesis theory!
The Nemesis hypothesis is really cool, but as I understand it nobody really believes in it anymore, so I dunno if it would be deemed suitable for the channel.
That would go nicely with ether theory and space elevator.
A while ago, some scientists noticed that meteorite/comet impacts on Earth seemed to be occurring at regular intervals (about 26 million years). That suggests that the Oort cloud would be sending comets at us in a cyclic pattern.
Which in turn suggests that something would be disturbing the Oort cloud every 26 million years. So it was hypothesized that the Sun has a companion star, Nemesis - a smaller, non-shining brown dwarf in a veeeery distant, extremely elliptical orbit, with an orbital period of 26 million years - that flings comets at us every time it passes by.
It's a pretty elegant hypothesis, but apparently the whole "regular impact event" thing isn't very well supported anymore, so there's no reason to assume Nemesis exists.
Who came here thinking NASA announced the Oort Cloud was penis shaped?
only you...and what is in your mouth again?
I used to have mix feelings, but Reid's really grown on me.
Reids def the best
If the Universe is expanding, why is Andromeda moving closer to us?
We are in a Galaxy Cluster, held together by dark matter and gravity. Galaxies further away move faster from us.
Dat thumbnail ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Nice video but sorry, Mike Brown the Villain of Pluto once more got it wrong about another Planet "whom shamelessly named Planet 9", out there. It turns out to be a disc of icy objects causing the disturbances. So Planet 9 is only reserved for the one and only planet Pluto.
Hahaha, it must be there. We are scientists. We just cant see it, nor have evidence to prove it. We, scientists, historically speaking have never been wrong. Boom....FACT.
Yep.. believing in what they admittedly have no proof of, lol
So no *tangible proof whatsoever* of it existing, but its existence would answer a lot of important questions...
Now where have I heard that before?
Most of scientific history probably
A Oort Cloud that we don't know if it exist because nobody has seen, but would make a lot of sense if it was there. I am not a Atheist, but that sounds like what people say about God. ( '_' )
Hey, it's a fair summary of scientific knowledge, or any knowledge at all, really. I don't really know that the chair I'm sitting on exists, but the world behaves as if there's a chair there, so I assume there is. Likewise, our solar system behaves as if it has an Oort cloud.
We're an immensely visual species, and we value visual observation higher than perhaps any other form of evidence, but it's really just another form of observation. Blind people have to rely on others, and they get by just fine, philosophically speaking. :P Just to take an example from elsewhere in science, nobody's ever seen an electron, either.
There is lots of evidence and scientific data that points towards the existence of the ort cloud. there is no evidence for god at all, so no its not the same. Science is based on evidence, observation and controlled experiments, God fails all three of these so far.
Life Happens You make a good point, thanks for summing that up for me : )
I don't think the universe needs a god in order to make sense. God is just an extra assumption (see Acham's razor) when it is clearly the same universe regardless. You don't need god for morality, you don't need it for purpose, you don't need it for anything really, except for doing crazy shit.
God *feels* right to many people, so they accept that as the answer. But logically speaking, the universe makes less sense with a God than without.
This guy is so much easier to listen to than the other girl. No offense.
How is it possible that the Oort cloud isn't directly observed if it is so big and relatively close by
The objects in it are so small, there's so little light reflecting off of them, the objects are as cold as the surrounding space and the cloud is so massive that it's extremely difficult to observe anything in it.
Lutranereis also a lot of the time, light can penetrate straight through ice
It's very spread out, same reason why when Andromeda collides with the Milky Way the stars won't collide. They just so far away Sam and it's hard to see em'.
why is the atmosphere molecules not visible whit the naked eye if they are so relatively close by?
***** because they are transparent
He kind sounds like Penn, from Penn and Teller
oort cloud is not a theory but a hypothesis.
Bright objects are easy. Dark objects are hard. Gravity does not lie.
I love your videos, but seems like in every video, the numbers change significantly. like the orbit of space station, distance between us and the centre of our galaxy, how wide our galaxy is.... these type of numbers always change in videos.
any reason to this? example: 19200 light years in this video, but was 26000 in another video of yours.
Normally, videos don't give 100% exact measurements of large celestial bodies, this often varies from video to video, unless you really have been paying attention these are the kind of details that can be ignored.
Watch Neil Degrasi Tyson’s youtube video on measuring distances. He explains it so well!
Have you ever looked at a ruler and notice those thick black marks? Now lets say that we can zoom into on them. A galaxy’s edge could land on the edge of the black mark of the ruler or the middle of the black mark. Therefore we will never have an accurate measure of space.
I remember reading that Jan Oort observed no long period comet orbit indicates it came from interstellar space, and they seem to come from every direction. These two facts would suggest a cloud of bodies surrounding the sun. I have always thought something massive should be in the Oort cloud (if it exists). Recent observations (WISE/NEOWISE) have painstakingly turned up nothing of a Jupiter mass yet. To be continued...
If Hubble telescope can take photos of Andromeda , then why can't it just look for oort cloud
It's so close compared to Andromeda
Distance is not problem 🙈 size is
Oort cloud is just dust particles
Also, the Andromeda galaxy is very bright, filled with trillions upon trillions of stars. The Oort Cloud is very dark and the objects in it are very far apart. It’s easier to see the Andromeda galaxy because it is much brighter than the Oort Cloud
It is increasingly clear that we have absolutely no idea what is in our own neighborhood. We have been wrong by more than a factor of 100% with the number of stars in the Milky Way, and have way more uncertainty (orders of magnitude margin) in the Oort Cloud. Let's truly figure out what real matter lies right next to us before we go chasing dark ghosts all over the place.
Atheists who are most likely attending Jr. High:
"Hey look! Video about space! Religion is for idiots!"
*Waits for replies*
*None come*
AYY REPLY LMAO
joe huckaby....you're talking about the oort cloud as if it were some closely packed ring of comets orbiting the sun out beyond the kuiper belt...the fact of the matter is, these objects are tiny and incredibly widespread at that distance....don't hold me to this but I believe I once heard that objects in the oort cloud would be, on average, about as far apart from eachother as we are from saturn...
Very interesting, I can't wait to find out what else is hiding in the Oort Cloud :-)
Could there be another planet on the other side of our sun that follows our exact orbit?
*I fEeL vErY sMAlL hErE!!!!*
Amazing discoveries yet still unknow
People (people?) profess the Earth is flat?
UA-cam............Investigate and report back.
I'd appreciate that.
3:02 He said "massive butt"
Well, now I know why it is called the Oort cloud rather than the more suitable Ork cloud.
Would a body growing in the Oort cloud slowly fall into the solar system? Like if there's a body 10x the size of the Earth that has been growing in mass for the past 4 billion years, wouldn't that result in an elliptic orbit into the solar system, like that it will travel near the inner planets in a few billion years?? Curious how mass growth and orbits work.
.
There is so much wrong with this, that I cant even begin to describe it all. Jupiter was discovered back in 1610, not 1990. The first asteroid in the asteroid belt was discovered back in 1801, not a few decades ago. I hazard to assume what else is wrong with this besides just the basic facts of when people first saw something.
Austin Ryder Sorry, I typed that late at night and didn't notice the errors, I meant to say Pluto, not Jupiter, and I meant the majority of asteroids in the asteroid belt were discovered within the last century thanks to the rapid succession and improvements upon the technology used to detect orbital bodies.
Austin Ryder Oh boy, I realized all those mistakes, and I'm face-palming right now... Might as delete that post.
Does Oort cloud defines the edge of our solar system? If so how are we ever gonna break through without having a collision with some body which is many AU wide?
Awh man. Videos like this that introduce me to things I didn't know (potential huge planet sized object in the Oort Cloud disturbing near by objects?!) make me feel like a kid learning about science all over again. I just want to go "WOW! MAN THAT IS SO COOL!! SCIENCE IS SO COOL!"
New mega earth may contain life! Talk about it, its called Gliese 832 c. It's 16 light years away - www.sci-news.com/astronomy/science-gliese832c-potentially-habitable-super-earth-02029.html
Believe it Oort Not
Dear SciShow
I have a question/theme for a future video. What new/enhanced capabilities will the JWST provide when viewing the furthest reaches of our Solar System.
Including, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto & other Dwarfs, Planet X, Oort Cloud & passing rogue planets
Ok so the distance from the sun to the earth is 1 AU an the distance from the earth to the planet Pluto is 39 AU(astronomical unit) so the info given was that the so call oort cloud is 50000 AU away an you tell me that exists haha what a load of croc
planet x planet 9 or nibiru... which is it? em a cally ity soultaker
I am not talking conspiracy, with evidence, That some facts about the universe were known by as recorded in HINDU texts. thousands of years ago... what does that mean? Confusing this world is... But Hindu's today are not necessarily the best at astronomy I guess AS IN TODAY. or please inform us..
Question: Is 10 times the earth really enough?
Jupiter is x11.2 (diameter), and I know how it protects us, and how massive its orbit is. But... I never heard of jupiter influencing orbits so massively far like sedna. Please give me some perspective about that.
Possible 10xEarth mass object in the outer solar system? Must be Nibiru!!!
