Oort cloud
Oort cloud. Computer illustration of the Oort cloud of comet nuclei thought to form a spherical halo around the solar system. The Sun and solar system are at centre, but are not seen at this scale. The outer edge of the Oort cloud may be up to 100, 000 astronomical units (the distance from the Earth to the Sun) from the Sun, or around 1.5 light years. The Oort cloud comprises billions of comet nuclei, small lumps of rock and ice. Some of these may fall into the solar system to become visible as comets. The bright horizontal band is the Kuiper Belt, a disc of asteroid-like bodies in the plane of the solar system. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © CLAUS LUNAU/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning computer illustration captures the ethereal beauty of the Oort cloud, a mysterious region believed to envelop our solar system. In this mesmerizing print, we witness a celestial ballet where countless comet nuclei gracefully dance in a spherical halo formation. The Sun and its planets remain hidden from view, emphasizing the vastness of this cosmic spectacle. Stretching up to an astonishing 100,000 astronomical units away from our star - equivalent to about 1.5 light years - the Oort cloud is composed of billions of comet nuclei: delicate amalgamations of rock and ice suspended in space. Occasionally, some venture closer towards our solar system's center, transforming into magnificent comets that captivate stargazers on Earth. Intriguingly juxtaposed against this celestial panorama is the luminous band known as the Kuiper Belt. This disc-like structure consists of asteroid-like bodies orbiting within the plane of our solar system. Together with the Oort cloud, these two enigmatic features offer astronomers invaluable insights into cosmology and further deepen our understanding of cometary phenomena. Science Photo Library has masterfully transformed scientific data into breathtaking artwork with this print. It serves as a reminder that even beyond what meets the eye lies an awe-inspiring universe waiting to be explored by curious minds seeking answers among distant stars and celestial wonders.
