This cloud is thought to surround the solar system out to a distance of more than 3 light years. You will be shocked to know that by way of comparison, the Kuiper belt that exists beyond the orbit of Neptune is about one thousand times closer to the Sun than the inner wall of the Oort cloud is to the Sun. in this video are 10 more interesting facts about the Oort cloud you may not have known.

I enjoyed this video, more please!
They say that Voyager 1 & 2 are in interstellar space, but they have a long way to go to reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud, let alone pass through it. I wish there were another mission underway to study it, but it would take over 50 years to reach it, given the 40+ years the Voyager probes have been traveling.

The Oort cloud must have a purpose. There must be a reason good created it. It likely protects us from something. Either that, or it gives the solar system some stability.

Seriously, a 5 minute video and they can find no one to read the script? Can't stand these mechanical voices.
