Reminds me of the ring of Uranus.

This is pretty cool - not as funny as astronomers discovering rings around Uranus, but still interesting.

An old cowpoke went ridin’ out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he rode along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
Plowing through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Yipie I ay, yipie I oh
Ghost turned in the sky

Their horns were black and shiny and their hooks are made of steel
Their brands were still on fire and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear shot through him as they thundered through the sky
He saw the circles coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yipie I ay, yipie I oh
Ghost circles in the sky

Their face is gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweat
They’re ridin’ hard to catch that herd but they ain’t caught ‘em yet
‘Cause they’ve got to ride forever on the range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire as they ride on hear them cry

Yipie I ay, yipie I oh
Ghost circles in the sky

As the circles looked on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from hell a riding on our range
Then cow-boy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Tryin’ to catch the Devils herd, across these endless skies

Yipie I ay, yipie I oh
Ghost circles in the sky
Yipie I ay, yipie I oh
Ghost circles in the sky

“At first we suspected an imaging artifact, perhaps generated by a software error.”

So they suspected a “glitch”? Then they found there was no “glitch” and the software was operating just fine.

Where have I heard this before?

If only there was a huge radio telescope that could be used to study these ORCs, maybe carved out of a natural bowl on a mountain.

Radio Smoke Rings.

Remnants of a long ago battle of two or more fleets of Death Stars in their own Battle of Midway.

The galactic version of Iron Bottom Sound.

And after close inspection, they found 453,987 votes for Biden in one of the circles.

Ben. Thanks for posting.

Looks something like diffuse intersteller ball lighting. Maybe high energy particles pass through a diffuse ball of interstellar gas. Either the particles or radiation are frequent enough to cause it to excite the gas and it glows, or they set off a cascade (Gamma radiation) that causes “current” to start flowing in the ball. This presumes no nearby star or gravitational field that attracts and disturbs the “Bubble.”

Physics is fun.

Not to me though. Physics sucked. It was HARD.

The ghostly ORC1 (blue/green fuzz), on a backdrop of the galaxies at optical wavelengths. There’s an orange galaxy at the centre of the ORC, but we don’t know whether it’s part of the ORC, or just a chance coincidence.
