"Unraveling the Enigma of Cosmic Ghost Circles in Deep Space"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists may have solved the mystery of cosmic ORCs, vast odd radio circles that can encompass entire galaxies, by pointing to powerful winds erupting from bursts of exploding stars as the cause. These winds, driven by simultaneous supernova explosions in starburst galaxies, create shockwaves that generate the ORCs, which can spread out for hundreds of thousands of light-years. This discovery could provide insights into galactic evolution and the prevalence of extreme outflowing galactic winds.
