[QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [QB] Apparently, the Oort Cloud extends to something like 100,000 AU (about 1.5 lightyears), and could be actually anywhere between 5000 and 100,000 AU from the Sun. Not very strict at all. And they haven't [i]actually[/i] been confirmed by anything other than mathematics. Taking the outermost planet as a limit is bound to give trouble, since there is no firm definition of what a planet is. There are enough reasons to dismiss Pluto as being a planet or, vice versa, to call planetoids like Quaoar planets. The most utopian way of course is to [i]not[/i] claim empty space, and only focus on celestial bodies. It would be clearer, but it isn't workable with nasty Orions pirates and vengeful Klingon captains... [/QB][/QUOTE]
