The Oort Cloud was a star formation region that surrounded the planet Atzerri. It included methane-ice comets.[2]

Behind the scenes

In real-life astronomy, the Oort Cloud is an immense postulated spherical cloud of comets situated about 50,000 astronomical units from the Sun. This is approximately 1200 times the distance from the Sun to Pluto or three quarters of a light year. The outer extent of the Oort cloud places the boundary of our Solar System at nearly a quarter of the distance to Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the Sun.
