Oh, I think the Oort Cloud is a little further than 120,000 miles. ;^)

120,000 mph! In space, those particles travel unimpeded until they reach the limits of the gravitational pull of the star. Like shooting a bullet straight up, in will eventually fall back down. The water and ice would all collect at the extremes of the gravity sink and perhaps form comets and other objects to rain down upon the new stars planetary system, perhaps creating a new Earth in the process................
