A Beginner's View of Our Electric Universe - New

The Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud - what are they really? The Kuiper Belt lies beyond the furthest gas planet
Neptune and is said to consist of many icy and rocky objects of various sizes up to small planet dimensions.
Pluto, being in that same region, is considered a Kuiper Belt Object (a KBO) that still has a debate going on
around it as to whether or not it is actually a planet. Well, whatever classification it ends up with, it sure is a big
object. A number of other KBOs have been observed to which we have assigned names such as Sedna, Orcus,
Quaoar, Ixion and Varuna. The evidence is that many KBOs are very substantial objects, but we know little
else about them. Despite everything being very cold indeed in that region, no objects out there or anywhere
else have been truly determined as floating chunks of ice; the existence and dominance in number of icy bodies
in these locations is all just guesswork. The Kuiper Belt is the home of short-term comets such as Halley and
Swift-Tuttle, both of which regularly visit the inner solar system every few decades. This type of comet is not
the main focus of the information to come because short-term comet orbits do not see them travel too far away
from the Sun. This means that the electric display they put on, for which I will explain the reasons in terms of
all comets, is often not as dramatic as what happens with the long-term variety [6-41] .
The Oort Cloud is said to be where long-term comets
come from. The physical form of this ‘cloud’ is
described as a thinly populated globe-like shell that
encompasses the whole solar system at a distance
of 7 to 25 trillion miles away from the Sun. This is
a enormous structure, virtually impossible for us to
imagine. Comets originating from there are said to
take between a few hundred to millions of years to
complete a round trip past the Sun. This includes
comets such as Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp.

and long term comets © author
The suggestion that the Oort Cloud is like a globe
comes about only because long-term comets are
seen as coming towards Earth from many different
directions. Therefore, astro-science has judged them
as originating from an all-encompassing shell-like
structure that exists in a very cold region of space
indeed. We must note, however, that no Oort Cloud
objects, tiny though they are supposed to be, have ever been detected in any way whatsoever; they have been
assumed to exist, so we are again faced with being asked just to believe what we are being told [6-42] .
