    Where do comets come from? If their surface material evaporates as they approach the sun, they must have formed far away from the Sun. Comets, along with several icy planetesimals are believed to originate from a theoretical spherical cloud located almost 2 light-years from the sun, called the Oort Cloud.

    One of the most brightest objects in the Universe is a Quasar. Quasars are extremely luminous disks of light and gases generated when dust and gases come too close to a supermassive black hole at the center of galaxies. Powerful jets of light generated above and below this disk can extend many light-years into space. This episode explores these objects, and how they can help scientists understand the early universe.
