Odd Radio Circles, or ORCs, discovered around certain galaxies, have puzzled scientists ever since their first discovery in 2021. 

It was previously unknown how these huge circles formed. Researchers now postulate that it formed through the dramatic clash of massive groups of galaxies. How cool is it that we can detect the aftereffects of the collisions of galaxies!

The full paper in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics Letters is titled “The galaxy group merger origin of the Cloverleaf odd radio circle system” and is at https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2024/05/aa49900-24/aa49900-24.html

That’s it for this issue.
