Talk:Oort limit

I suggest moving the article to Oort_limit. VoidLurker 11:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about completely the wrong thing. The Oort limit has nothing to do with the physical dimensions of the Oort cloud. (Both the Oort cloud and the Oort limit are topics in astrophysics named after Jan Oort, but they are otherwise unrelated.) The Oort limit is a way of measuring the mass density of the Milky Way galactic disk by measuring the distributions of positions and relatively speeds of stars in our local neighborhood of the galaxy. This article should either be deleted or changed to describe the actual Oort limit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.252.70.97 (talk) 02:35, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
