Odd radio circles (ORCs) are mysterious objects out in space which look like a ring or bubble and are brighter along their edges. Although their origin is still a mystery, researchers in Australia say their study has narrowed down what’s likely causing these ORCs to form. Thanks to the clearest radio telescope images of this phenomenon to date, a team at Australia’s national science agency CSIRO has three theories which could explain ORCs: They may be the remnants of a huge explosion at the center of their local galaxy possibly the merger of two supermassive black holes.
