Guessed the answer from the write up, but took some time to backsolve the mechanism. It's evident in retrospect, but rather far OUT there, wouldn't you say?
BTW, regarding Meg's question (and mine:) is this where your clue to 8A comes from? https://trade.usapears.com/bosc/ (first sentence reads, "Bosc pears stand out in a crowd for many reasons."
For the entries with clues that include the word "out" take the outermost letter in the grid. OORT is spelled down on the left and CLOUD is spelled down on the right.

My auto-correct didn’t like Oort. If you get some “port cloud” submissions, that’s probably why :)

Far out, man! And once again it took me 2 tries. First guess was the Kuiper belt. I thought you were on a belt kick, haha. But OORT CLOUD fits the title better.

Oh very good, Ben. I finally found OUT the metanism… and needed to stretch my horizons a little!
