The museum contacted the researcher who provided the Oort Cloud data for the show, who was also surprised to see the spiral.“It’s kind of a freak accident that it actually happened,” said David Nesvorny with the Southwest Research Institute.

Realizing they’d stumbled on something new, the researchersearlier this year in The Astrophysical Journal.The spiral is “a striking shift in our understanding of the outer solar system,” planetary scientist Andre Izidoro with Rice University, who was not involved with the study, said in an email.

The discovery, relying on data on how celestial objects move and using simulations, will be difficult to confirm with observations. But knowing more about the orbits of distant comets could give scientists some clues, Izidoro said.While putting together the planetarium show, the museum’s experts weren’t expecting a window into the universe’s inner workings. The show, narrated by actor Pedro Pascal, features many vivid scenes that may capture audiences more than the Oort Cloud, said the museum’s Jon Parker — including an ongoing merge of the Sagittarius mini galaxy with the Milky Way.

No matter how striking and beautiful the visuals of the show, the museum was committed to making it scientifically accurate. That’s what created the perfect conditions to stumble upon something new, said the museum’s Carter Emmart.

“You just never know what you’re going to find,” Emmart said.Thomas Laub, 28, and Alyah Chanelle Scott, 27, started Runyonland Productions for that very reason.

“We both felt a lot of frustration with the industry, and the ways that we were boxed out of it as students in Michigan who were able to come to New York sparingly,” Laub said. Runyonland was launched in 2018 with the premise that highlighting new, bold voices would bring change.This spring, Scott, known for playing Whitney in HBO’s

acted off-Broadway in Natalie Margolin’s “All Nighter.”“I was standing onstage and looking out and seeing the college kids that I was playing,” Scott said. “I was like, ‘I respect you so much. I want to do you proud. I want to show you a story that represents you in a way that doesn’t belittle or demean you, but uplifts you.’”
