The Oort cloud, sometimes called the Öpik–Oort cloud is a theoretical concept of a cloud of predominantly icy planetesimals proposed to surround the Sun at distances ranging from 2,000 to 200,000 AU (0.03 to 3.2 light-years). Hypothetical and not scientifically proven source of long-periodic comets.
Many analytical organisations with main focus on investigation and journalism wanted to have fully internal analogue of cloud tools in their intranet.
The Oort cloud is intended to be easy-to-go setup for this kind of tasks, main idea - that it is theoretically existing cloud which can produce physical results - cometes. In a world of journallism you may count this an invisible cloud which sometimes produce meaningful investigation and reports.
