Scientists find a spiral structure in the Oort cloud's interior that's similar to the spiral arms of our Milky Way .

The cloud is thought to be a vast shell of perhaps trillions of icy objects encasing our solar system.

The researchers say it's more likely a "slightly warped" disk, 15,000 AU across.

They say the spiral structure has been here almost since our system's beginning.
