As the Galactic tide acts to decouple bodies from the scattered disk it creates a spiral structure in physical space that is roughly 15,000 au in length. The spiral is long-lived and persists in the inner Oort cloud to the present time. Here we discuss dynamics underlying the Oort spiral and (feeble) prospects for its observational detection.

The Oort cloud is traditionally thought of as a vast shell of perhaps trillions of icy objects encasing our solar system, serving as the final boundary between us and the dark reaches of interstellar space. But it's not a homogenous mass. In reality, astronomers don't yet have a complete picture of what it looks like — and are only beginning to glimpse just how complex its makeup might be. Now, in a new study set to be published in The Astrophysical Journal, a team of researchers from the Sout

In a nutshell: Far beyond the orbit of Pluto lies a mysterious region filled with icy objects circling the Sun. This distant zone, known as the Oort Cloud, remains unseen, but its existence is inferred from the long-period comets that occasionally journey inward. Now, a new model suggests that the inner part of the Oort Cloud may have an unexpected structure resembling a spiral, much like a miniature galaxy. The Oort Cloud begins roughly 2,000 – 5,000 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun, with
