20 Questions: What's the celestial object that I have in mind?
1. Is it bigger than an astronomical "breadbox", say 1 lyr in diameter? No. 2. Is it located within the Milky Way Galaxy? Yes. 3. Is it smaller than a planet? No. 4. Is it less dense than a typical star? I would assume so. 5. Is it self illuminating? In a manner of speaking, yes. 6. Are its EM emissions mainly outside the visible band? Yes, I believe so. 7. Is it nebular? Not exactly. 8. Is it smaller than the Sun in diameter? No. 9. Is it part of a star? I suppose one could make that case. 10 - is this a "system" of sorts comprising more than one part?

10. Is this a "system" of sorts comprising more than one part? Only in the broadest sense of the word system.

Is it a part of a stellar system? In other words, is it gravitaional bound to a star, binary, or gravitationaly bound stellar group. An example would be the Oort Cloud.
