Citizen scientists have discovered a rare double-ringed odd radio circle (ORC) in space , marking a significant achievement in astronomy. The celestial anomaly, captured by a radio telescope, is one of the most mysterious objects in the universe. Dr. Ananda Hota , lead author of a study published on October 2 in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society , described ORCs as massive structures made of magnetized plasma. These structures can span hundreds of thousands of light-years, often reaching 10 to 20 times the size of our Milky Way galaxy. They are faint and typically detectable only through radio light.

The newly discovered ORC, named RAD J131346.9+500320, is the most distant known to date, located 7.5 billion light-years from Earth. It is also the first ORC dis
