Think the solar system ends with the 9 planets? Think again. Beyond them lie the Kuiper Disk and the vast, spherical Oort Cloud—a cosmic deep freeze that reaches halfway to the nearest stars. But when something jostles those frozen objects? They wake up. They move inward. They become comets.... And that’s when things get interesting…show more

We have 13 major planets, but your correct. The Bode-Titius relationship may give us a key to the answer. Titius and Bode, two German astronomers, discovered this relationship in the eighteenth century. If we take ring numbers, or orbit numbers, of the planets through Saturn (0, 1 , 2, 4, 8, 16, 32), multiply each number by 3, add 4, divide by 10, the series becomes (0.4, 0.7, 1.0, 1.6, 2.8, 5.2, and 10.0). These numbers represent the relative distances of the then known planets from the Sun - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars Jupiter, and Saturn - with 2.8 representing a void with no known planet at that distance. When the planet Uranus was discovered in 1781, it fit right into the series at 19.6; the "law" seemed strengthened, and an intense search was started for anything that might be at the 2.8 distance. In 1801 the little planetoid Ceres was found at 2.8; by 1945 more than 1,500 more were found on the same orbit. It has been well established as the ring of minor planets, or planetoids, or asteroids. In 1846 Neptune was discovered - and it seemed to disobey the rules set down by Bode and Titius. It should have been at 38.8 on the relative distance scale - but it was closer to 29.2. In 1930 Pluto was discovered, and Bode-Titius seemed to fall apart, for Pluto was found close to 38.8, where Neptune was supposed to be, whereas the Bode-Titius "law" seemed to indicate that Pluto should be at 77.2. Since then the relationship, commonly known as "Bode's Law", has been regarded in astronomy as nothing more than an insignificant curiosity. Perhaps a new look at Bode's law is in order. If so much of it is correct, then perhaps the part which appears to be erroneous seems to be so only because of our lack of understanding of the basics involved.

What is Space Force? Is it Really Real? #spaceforce #nasa #StarTrek

The Kuiper Belt is the Sun's dust shell that's accumulated from every 12k year nova. It blows out at 1500 miles a second and finally settles due to gravity

There are things in the solar system we’re likely haven’t detected yet. I remain hopeful and always wondered about Plutos reclassification and if it had to do with the discoveries of thousands of Pluto sized objects farther out.

Did Oumuamua wake up anything?

@KeithMalinak Hmmmm :)
