A research team led by UC San Diego has sought to explain ORCs, or enormous clouds of gas surrounding galaxies that are set in motion by exploding stars.
Mysterious "odd radio circles" or ORCs that compass entire galaxies may have finally been explained, with astronomers pointing the finger at winds from bursts of supernova star explosions.
Odd radio circles in space have mystified astronomers since the cosmic objects were first discovered in 2019. Now, scientists think they may understand what forms these mysterious celestial structures, and the answer could provide insights into galactic evolution.
