Exploring the Oort Cloud","description":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IQtdQ94jy8I From Oct 17, 2017. Hosted by: Fraser Cain (@frasercain) Some comets orbit the Sun on a regular basis, but others come in from deep space, a region known as the Oort Cloud. What causes them to make this journey, and will we ever be able to explore the Oort Cloud? &amp;nbsp; Before I get into this episode, I want to remind everyone that it\u2019s been several decades since I\u2019ve been able to enjoy a bright comet in the night sky. I\u2019ve seen mind blowing auroras, and witnessed a total solar eclipse with my own eyeballs. The Universe needs to deliver this bright comet for me, and it needs to do it soon. &amp;nbsp; [Editor\u2019s note: Rich here. I\u2019m spoiled by comet Hyakutake.] &amp;nbsp; By recording this video now, I will summon it. I will create a video that\u2019ll be hilariously out of date in a few months, when that bright comet shows up. &amp;nbsp; We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.&amp;nbsp; Just visit: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
