Astronomers Are Freaking Out over Bizarre Rectangle-Shaped Rings in Space

Negative refractive phenomonea and the ability for metameterials to be tuned to specific frequency bands and potentiate the effective mass density.
Or something cooler I guess :P

Rectangular markings can be recreated by moving the 9 regular-pulsating jet streams emanating outward at various Cartesian directions:
- the four corners of their “rectangle” are comprising of pulse streams emanating outward but directly perpendicular to our view.
- their rectangular sides are painted by pulsating jet streams whose trajectory angle are further/closer with our reference (perpendicular)to our POV.
That’s one way to explain rectangular aspect.
Haven’t got a clue as to what the odds are of such stream placements to make an appearance of a “rectangle”.
But I could envision 6 or 9 asymmetrical jet streams from a gravity well (such as a star), but not ones caused by binary star pairs.
Guessingly so, pulsating effect would be easily explained by a strong elliptical orbit between stars of similar size, one where closest encounter would grab all the dust clouds.
Note: I am not an astronomer, just a hobbyist for plotting trajectories between multiple celestial bodies thru space.
