"Unraveling the Mystery of Odd Radio Circles in Space"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers have finally found a possible explanation for the mysterious odd radio circles (ORCs) in deep space, which were discovered in 2019. These ghostly circles are believed to be shockwaves created by powerful galactic winds emanating from starburst galaxies, where intense star formation occurs due to galactic mergers. Computer simulations suggest that these galactic outflows, driven by high rates of supernova explosions, could produce the observed ORCs. This discovery raises questions about the duration and prevalence of ORCs and their relationship to starbursting galaxies, offering potential insights into the evolution of the Universe.
