What originates in the oort cloud located beyond the orbit of pluto?
Comets. We think. Let's be clear about this; the "Oort cloud" is entirely THEORETICAL. It makes perfect sense that there must be SOMEPLACE that comets are coming from, since it's impossible that the same comets have been swooping past the Sun for the last 4.5 BILLION years. But as of yet, we have no actual EVIDENCE of the area known as the Oort Cloud. Nor, given the distances involved, is it even possible for us to GET the evidence given our current technology. As scientists, we can be fairly confident that when we get out there, either in person or by robot, we'll find a vast area with a few billion speckles of dirt, rocks, ice - you know, comet stuff. Then we will have some evidence that the Oort cloud theory is correct. But we're not there yet.
