Comet ISON
|
Quote:The Oort cloud, which consists of trillions of chunks of ice and rock (and also happens to be where ISON originated), forms a kind of globe around the last vestiges of the Sun's gravitational influence. To give an idea of scale, the Earth resides on average around 93,000,000 miles from the Sun, or what is referred to as an Astronomical Unit. If we were to place an object at the center of a table and another object about a half inch away to represent an AU, the Oort cloud would be 50,000 AUs away, or a sphere of about 3/10 of a mile in diameter surrounding that table. That's almost two light years, or over 10 trillion miles. That is just our sun. Our Milky Way galaxy consists of hundreds of billions of suns and measures over 100,000 light years in width. Wow, that's incredible. I admit, I am not adding much to the discussion, but I had to say it. When they applied the red-shifts to the ultra-deep field, and put it in motion, words are not sufficient. Thank you to all the scientists who have ever lived. |
