Trying to wrap my mind around the vast distances involved in these clouds and comets is boggling. And then I have to process the fact that our Solar System, including its Oort Cloud, is only an infinitesimal thing among billions of such systems in the vastness of the Milky Way Galaxy. And then I remember that our galaxy is only one of billions of galaxies.

And then I Thank God for the magnificent wonders of His Creation, our Universe.

And then I get another cup of coffee.

The icy cloud is melting due to global warming....
We need to be taxed more to send out more space probes to figure out way to stop this.

Icy cloud? Why icy, after all it’s only about 400 degrees below zero.

Capture the Oort cloud and bring it to the surface to solve globull warming. Planetary A/C!

Voyager has now left the “Solar System” in the sense that it is beyond the Solar Wind. But according to NASA it is still 300 years until it reaches the Oort Cloud. Mind boggling.

There is a good theory, one that I adhere to, that there was once a blue-white giant main sequence star where our Sun (Sol) is now. When these stars go supernova, they create all the raw materials and minerals found in space.

Perhaps the Oort cloud is the last remnant of un-coelesced materials from the original star explosion, mostly ice and such, too far out to form a body.
