The Oort Cloud, one of the most intriguing mysteries in our solar system. Watch the Narrator and the Scientist explain the Oort cloud in 3 minutes(ish) -in 4K-

New videos arriving weekly, so be sure to subscribe and like the video. Let me know what you think and what topics you would like to see covered in 3 minutes. No subject is too complicated or too small.

The Kuiper belt is also touched upon, as well as astronomical units, and vast distances.

3 minute snippets is a division of Destructive Creativity, where science and knowledge comes alive in humorous and entertaining ways.

Dutch astronomer Jan Oort first observed the evidence of the Oort cloud in 1950, since that time the Oort cloud has been a continual mystery. Despite strong evidence for its existence, the inner layer and outer layers of the oort cloud have defied all attempts to prove its place in the universe.

Also included in the video is the Kuiper Belt, the home of Pluto (not a real planet) and other icy bodies of Ammonia, Methane, and Ice. Astronomy remains a field of study that amazes the child in all of us. I hope you enjoy these quick science videos.

More quick science facts for kids of all ages coming soon!

...lil Side note lad - you'll keep the average science fan with the great creativity 👌but careful with the "known" facts.. You will lose the "eggheads" if they're wrong 🙈
💁 Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the earth, it's part of Alpha Centauri's 3 star system. Proxima Centauri B is the closest exo planet found. Hope this helps ✌ cheers.
