In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA’s Pleiades supercomputer has revealed an unexpected spiral structure within the inner Oort cloud, challenging long-held beliefs about our solar system’s outer ...

"We were quite surprised," Dones continued. "Spirals are seen in Saturn's rings, disks around young stars and galaxies. The ...

NASA's Pleiades supercomputer has provided fresh insights into the Oort cloud – a vast, theoretical spherical shell of icy objects that surrounds our solar system. For a long time ...

However, when they ran the numbers through the NASA’s Pleiades supercomputer, it came back with a mysterious structure for the inner part of the cloud that looked incredibly similar to the ...

It was when NASA scientists fed all this data into the Pleiades supercomputer that they were able to obtain a structure of the inner part of the cloud that resembles the spiral of the Milky Way.

Most of the long-period comets in the Solar System come from the outer Oort Cloud. The inner region is much more stable. It's ...

When the scientists ran this model through NASA's Pleiades supercomputer, it spit out a structure for the inner part of the cloud (the most densely populated region, located 1,000 to 10,000 AU ...

For the yet-to-be peer-reviewed study, scientists used NASA's Pleiades supercomputer to model the structure of the Oort cloud based on the trajectories of comets as well as the gravitational ...

NASA's Pleiades supercomputer simulations suggest the spiral shape is influenced by the Milky Way's gravity. This discovery could redefine our understanding of the solar system's boundaries and ...

But in the Oort Cloud, the galactic tide becomes a dominant factor. Using NASA's Pleiades supercomputer, the team ran simulations incorporating the galactic tide and other effects over billions of ...
