I wonder how many planets have been borrowed from other passing stars.

Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have not reached the Oort Cloud. Although Voyager 1 entered interstellar space in 2012 by crossing the heliopause, it remains far short of the Oort Cloud’s inner edge, which begins approximately 2,000 to 5,000 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun.

Current estimates indicate it will take roughly 300 years for Voyager 1 to reach the inner boundary of the Oort Cloud and about 30,000 years to traverse the entire region. By the time the probes arrive, their power sources will have long depleted, meaning they will drift through the cloud silently without transmitting data.

Ever read When Worlds Collide, and After World’s Collide?

Very good Sci-fi even though written in the early 1930’s..........

I read them both in high school. Great stuff!

“by the time the probes arrive, their power sources will have long depleted, meaning they will drift through the cloud silently without transmitting data.”

My dad led the team at GE that built the RTG power plants that power the two Voyager spacecraft: the Multihundred-watt radioisotope thermoelectric generator (MHW RTG) is a type of US radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) developed for the Voyager spacecraft, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. The Voyager generators continue to function nearly 50 years into the mission.

Even worse than the Voyagers traveling without power, did you know that the sun will burn out before the California HSR project is finished and they will have to complete it in the dark?

Every one who dreams about aliens should read your post 10 times. It is the exact reason why no one will visit earth or earth spacecrafts will not reach other planets outside our solar system.

There is that vast dark space between consecutive solar systems. The solar panels have no power source after exiting our solar system for hundreds of thousand year. They will just drift into the vast dark space and get lost in space.

I would suggest Pluto as a “borrowed” body as it so far out of the plane of the ecliptic.

Uranus with it’s radically different, “rolling” axis might have been altered by a close encounter with a passing extrasolar body—perhaps from another system.

The Asteroid Belt speaks to something catastrophic happening in that orbital space. A collision from an extra solar body? Torn apart by forces within our own system while it developed?

Venus’ planetary rotation spins “clockwise” while earth (and the rest of the planets) spin “counter-clockwise.” Can’t recall why it does that. Might have to do with its extremely thick atmosphere.

The more we learn about our own solar system, the more amazed I am by it!

Stars?

Interplanet Janet first brushed past the solar system in 1977.

Do these stars have their own Oort clouds?

Sorry, but there’s no such thing as the Ort cloud...

Ort himself never saw the Ort cloud...

It’s nothing more than fake science based on zero evidence...

“…When Worlds Collide…”

Try “Worlds in Collision”, a non-fiction work written in 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky. It is a very interesting read and thought provoking as well.

Your post and this thread demands an extensive discussion on Immanuel Velikovsky

but today I am too worn out from yard work in the heat.

you know as you get in your late 70s that stuff sucks

In the heat we are having here in Indiana it sucks in your early sixties as well...

“The solar panels have no power source after exiting our solar system for hundreds of thousand year.”

They are pretty much useless past Jupiter’s orbit. The Juno orbiter had three massive panels and only produced 500 watts.
