Mini 'Spiral Galaxy' May Be Taking Shape At The Edge Of Our Solar System

What they found was surprising: the inner Oort Cloud seems to form a spiral disk, stretching about 15,000 astronomical units (AU) long. 1 AU is the distance between the Sun and the Earth (149.4 million km). The Oort Cloud’s inner edge starts at 2,000 to 5,000 AU, and its outer edge could reach as far as 100,000 AU.
