SMRTR summary

Astronomers have discovered the most distant and powerful "odd radio circle" (ORC) ever found, located nearly 10 billion light-years away when the universe was half its current age, using citizen scientists and Europe's most sensitive radio telescope. These mysterious ring-shaped structures, only discovered six years ago, may form from superwind outflows from galaxies rather than colliding black holes as previously thought.
