Astronomers believe they've discovered a spiral structure inside the Oort cloud that surrounds our solar system.
The Oort Cloud begins roughly 2,000 – 5,000 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun, with 1 AU being the average distance between Earth and the Sun.
New research suggests the Oort cloud, a shell of icy objects at the edge of our solar system, may feature spiral arms similar to the Milky Way, revealing a complex cosmic structure beyond Pluto.
