Imagine a massive celestial bubble made of ice and dust surrounding our Solar System. That’s the Oort cloud and this is its scale.

The Oort Cloud lies at the very edges of the Solar system. Even the farthest ones which are still working, like Voyager 1, Voyager 2 and New

I would suggest that it is fair to say that Debs 🌸 lives in Windsor, in which case she lives under one of the busiest air corridors IN THE WORLD (the left side of the white blob).

Fun fact: Apollo 13 passed the far side of the Moon at an altitude of 254 km above the lunar surface, and 400,171 km from Earth, a spaceflight record marking the farthest humans have ever traveled from Earth.

This happened 54 years ago .
