What IS NOT outside our solar system? Most of the matter and energy that we can see is outside of our little oasis on the edge of our Milky Way galaxy, and we know practically nothing about it all. .. which leaves a lot of room for active (but typically harmless and fun) imaginations about aliens and the like. It's funny how hard we try to play "God" in light of our true insignificance in the grand scheme. It's truly humbling, and even spiritually exciting, to look outside our solar system and see the overwhelming magnitude of the space, matter, and energy which lies beyond.

More solar systems.... other galaxies... stars, planets, comets... who knows what else. Someday we will have the technology to go and explore the universe.

Marell, son....Did you ever do any research on the Oort cloud or the Milky Way galaxy?
Why don't you look those topics up and read up on them. I know, I know. It's kinda hard to put down the controller to your X-Box and actually learn something. But, you know, if you expand your mental horizons, you will find that life is ever so much more interesting when things start to make sense.
No one can do it for you, and no one can do it as well as you yourself can.

I heard there is something called Oort's cloud which is about half or one LY from sun. 4,3 LY and it is Proxima Centauri system, which have no planet. 10,6 LY and it is Epsilon Eridane system which the Planet Hunter have shown to have planets.
Even farther you will have the local arm which is called Orion Arm, which is part of a bigger structure called Milky Way galaxy.

Then the Milky Way galaxy is a part of a local cluster of galaxy, which is a part of a supercluster, which is a part of our entire universe.

First, there's the Kuiper belt of asteroids. Then the Oort Cloud of dust. And then open space, with billions of stars, planets, and galaxies.

there is no sharp boundary to the solar system..but it is mostly empty space with sporadic comets and dust clouds.
