Oortags

Oortags are a type of tagging system used primarily in the field of astronomy to categorize and organize data related to comets and other small Solar System bodies. The system is named after the Dutch astronomer Jan Oort, who proposed the existence of a hypothetical cloud of comets in the outer Solar System. Oortags are used to classify comets based on their orbital characteristics, such as their perihelion distance, aphelion distance, and orbital period. This classification helps astronomers understand the origin and evolution of comets, as well as their potential impact on Earth. Oortags are also used to track the discovery and observation of new comets, and to coordinate international efforts to study these objects. The system is continually evolving as new data becomes available and our understanding of the Solar System improves.
