Astronomers Astonished By Twin Cosmic Rings That Dwarf Entire Galaxies
SMRTR summary
Astronomers discovered a massive double-ring structure called an Odd Radio Circle (ORC) located 7.5 billion light years away, hundreds of thousands of light years across and dozens of times wider than the Milky Way. The mysterious plasma rings, visible only in radio wavelengths, likely formed when supermassive black hole jets created magnetized plasma clouds that were later re-energized by galactic explosions. This discovery suggests ORCs may reveal how galaxies and black holes evolved together billions of years ago.
