Odd radio circle in space may preserve remnants of a violent galactic event
CNN2 days
Citizen scientists are revolutionizing astronomy by discovering the most powerful odd radio circle ever found. This breakthrough collaboration proves that human pattern recognition remains essential even in the machine-learning age. The discovery of this ancient cosmic fossil reveals how supermassive black holes shaped galaxies billions of years ago.
While odd radio circles are fascinating cosmic mysteries, they remain largely elusive, with only a dozen known examples after six years of searching. These incredibly faint structures are so rare that training AI to spot them is nearly impossible. The discovery raises more questions than answers about galaxy evolution.
