- The Oort cloud (pronounced /ˈɔrt/ ort, alternatively the Öpik-Oort Cloud ) is a hypothetical spherical cloud of comets which may lie roughly 50,000 AU, or nearly a light-year, from the Sun.

(DS9 episode: "The Maquis, Part II") Within the Oort cloud of the Narisian system, the Narisian Garamet found a B'rel-class Klingon bird-of-prey and a Starfleet shuttlecraft that originally belonged to the USS Senzig, both of which were likely abandoned there by the Borg. After using that bird-of-prey to travel back in time, Montgomery Scott inadvertently caused an alternate timeline to form where the Borg Collective had successfully assimilated most of the Alpha Quadrant, including the Sol system, around which they erected a sensor shield which encompassed even the system's Oort cloud. (Star Trek novel: Engines of Destiny) In an alternate January 2374, the USS Voyager sheltered behind a large ice dwarf situation in the Oort cloud of a Borg-occupied star system. From this location, they witnessed ten Species 8472 battleships destroying three Borg occupied planets. While attempting to escape the Oort cloud, Voyager was attacked by one of the battleships and suffered critical damage and lost numerous personnel. (VOY - Infinity's Prism novel: Places of Exile)

- The Rukbat Oort Cloud was a nebulous asteroid belt in the Sagittarian sector, and the 5th of its kind ever discovered. The one in the Rukbat system also contained the voracious organism known as Thread. Particles of this cloud, including Thread, were dragged by the Red Star when it passed through it every 250 years. From Terran astronomical sciences, an Oort Cloud is a spherical or disc shaped area located around a planetary system. Named after the Terran Dutch astronomer Jan Hendrick Oort, an Oort Cloud is composed of objects that are made of various ices such as methane, ethane, hydrogen, etc. It is also possible that other matter lies within this region. Oort Clouds are thought to be remnants of an original “protoplanetary disc” that can be created during the formation of a sun. Over time, the disc breaks up and forms individual planets and the Oort Cloud is what remains of the original material.
- The Oort cloud (pronounced /ˈɔrt/ ort, alternatively the Öpik-Oort Cloud ) is a hypothetical spherical cloud of comets which may lie roughly 50,000 AU, or nearly a light-year, from the Sun. This places the cloud at nearly a quarter of the distance to Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the Sun. The Kuiper belt and scattered disc, the other two known reservoirs of trans-Neptunian objects, are less than one thousandth the Oort cloud's distance. The outer extent of the Oort cloud defines the gravitational boundary of our Solar System. The Oort cloud is thought to comprise two separate regions: a spherical outer Oort cloud and a disc-shaped inner Oort cloud, or Hills cloud. Objects in the Oort cloud are largely composed of ices, such as water, ammonia, and methane. Astronomers believe that the matter comprising the Oort cloud formed closer to the Sun and was scattered far out into space by the gravitational effects of the giant planets early in the Solar System's evolution. Although no confirmed direct observations of the Oort cloud have been made, astronomers believe that it is the source of all long-period and Halley-type comets entering the inner Solar System and many of the Centaurs and Jupiter-family comets as well. The outer Oort cloud is only loosely bound to the Solar System, and thus is easily affected by the gravitational pull both of passing stars and of the Milky Way galaxy itself. These forces occasionally dislodge comets from their orbits within the cloud and send them towards the inner Solar System. Based on their orbits, most of the short-period comets may come from the scattered disc, but some may still have originated from the Oort Cloud. Although the Kuiper belt and the farther scattered disc have been observed and mapped, only four currently known trans-Neptunian objects—90377 Sedna, 2000 CR105, 2006 SQ372 and 2008 KV42—are considered possible members of the inner Oort cloud.
