A newly discovered ring of radio light, dubbed Kýklos, defies expectations and challenges existing explanations for similar celestial phenomena. Unlike other ‘odd radio circles’ (ORCs), Kýklos is situated within the Milky Way, prompting astronomers to speculate about its origin. While a Wolf-Rayet star, a massive star shedding its outer layers, appears to be the most likely explanation, further observation with the James Webb Space Telescope is needed to confirm this hypothesis.
