Odd Radio Circles (ORCs) are a relatively recent discovery in astrophysics, first identified in 2020. They are large, circular, and faint radio-emitting structures in the sky, characterized by their unusual shapes and the absence of visible counterparts in other wavelengths, such as optical or infrared light. These enigmatic features have sparked considerable interest and research, as their exact nature and origins remain unclear.
