Mork from ORC

Perhaps we’ve been getting it wrong for decades.  Perhaps the Robin Williams character was not from Planet Ork, but rather from mysterious ORC.

These “odd radio circles” (ORC) were first detected with the Australian SKA Pathfinder telescope, and are said to be “16 times larger than the Milky Way galaxy.” 

But what exactly are they?  That’s for Mork to know, and for us to find out.  Scientists suspect that they may be “the remnants of a huge explosion,” perhaps emanating from a galactic core.
