Comets, the Kuiper Belt, and the Oort Cloud

Streaming video - 2019

Learn why scientists believe comets, the "leftovers" of planet formation in the outer solar system, could be partially responsible for the flourishing of life on Earth, bringing both water and organic material to the inner solar system. And explore the more distant Oort Cloud, where billions of cometary objects orbit at the outermost boundary of the solar system.
