Показать описание
The Oort Cloud is a vast region in the outermost reaches of the solar system, extending far beyond the orbit of Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. It is believed to be a reservoir of icy objects, such as comets and potential dwarf planets, that are remnants from the early formation of the solar system. These objects are thought to be composed of volatile materials like water, methane, and ammonia. The Oort Cloud is named after Dutch astronomer Jan Oort, who proposed its existence in 1950. It's an essential part of our solar system's history and dynamics, as comets originating from the Oort Cloud occasionally plunge into the inner solar system, which provides insights into the early conditions and composition of the solar system.
