What Does OCO Stand For?
OCO stands for Oort Cloud Object
OCO, or Oort Cloud Object, refers to any celestial body located within the Oort Cloud, a hypothetical region of icy objects surrounding the Solar System. This distant area is believed to be the source of long-period comets and is thought to consist of numerous small, icy bodies that have formed from the remnants of the solar nebula. OCOs play a significant role in understanding the dynamics and evolution of our solar system, as well as the origin of comets and potential interstellar materials.
