New discovery in our solar system's Oort cloud

Museum scientists using a cutting-edge simulation of our solar system's Oort cloud discovered something astonishing—they noticed that this area of debris and comets far beyond the planets appears to form a spiral shape, like a galaxy. Learn more from Jackie Faherty, the curator of Encounters in the Milky Way, a new Space Show in the Hayden Planetarium.

Encounters in the Milky Way was developed with the major support and partnership of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

With deep gratitude to Van Cleef & Arpels
