I am always interested in strange findings out there in space. This story shared by friends on FB caught my attention and, the shoop lord I am, had this image of Kirk appear in my imagination.
"In September 2019, my colleague Anna Kapinska gave a presentation showing interesting objects she’d found while browsing our new radio astronomical data. She had started noticing very weird shapes she couldn’t fit easily to any known type of object."

Can I find this? Let's see, if I can in Google Sky.
There it is. Somewhere in the vicinity of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 7344, the binary star Kappa Aquarii, and Low Surface Brightness Galaxy IC 1447. Where no man has gone before!
"We dubbed them ORCs, which stands for “odd radio circles”."

Location in Google Earth sky view, but having trouble with the layers I had to turn off imagery to get the constellation and then overlay it in Paint with the imagery on.
