The mysterious Oort cloud is the source of many of our solar system's comets, but astronomers still have no idea what it looks like. Now, new simulations may have given them a first glimpse.

NASA supercomputer reveals strange spiral structure at the edge of our solar system that we already knew of.

Any time an article says, "Scientists find strange/weird/shocking thing," I know it's only strange to the author/editor of the article.

If scientists were as ignorant as these article authors, supernatural events would have been "proven" long ago.

Probably not even strange to them, it's just the nature of science journalism these days. If it's not strange and new, it doesn't turn eyes, and therefore there's little incentive to write about it.

This show had the most spectacular scope containment issues.. it just kept escalating. 10/10 would recommend

Oh man the dub sounds so weird. I'm so used to the Japanese voices. Especially with Link's voice actor as Viral.

Scope containment is a good way of describing it. Have you seen Samurai Flamenco? It may be there most ridiculous example of that I've seen.

Sorry guys. I couldn't help it.

Now what they need to do is measure the angular velocity of the outer most objects to more inner based.

A much more localized place to study dark matter would be cool.

Reapers waiting in dark space.
