Hubble spots a cosmic bullseye: a galaxy with nine rings
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured this striking image of an unusual galaxy with a bullseye structure, as nine rings surround its central point. Technically known as LEDA 1313424, the galaxy has more rings than any other known galaxy, and studying it is helping astronomers to learn how galaxies like this are created.
'Bullseye' Galaxy Captured in Spellbinding Hubble Image
A blue dwarf galaxy pitched through the bullseye's galactic neighborhood 50 million years ago, leaving behind nine glittering rings.
Hubble Hits the ‘Bullseye,’ a Galaxy With Record-Breaking 9 Rings
The Bullseye is now confirmed to have nine rings, eight of which are visible to Hubble. Researchers confirmed the existence of the ninth ring by studying data from the W. M. Keck Observatory. That means the Bullseye has six more rings than any other known galaxy.
Hubble Telescope Snaps Galaxy With Way More Rings Than Any Other
The Bullseye galaxy earned its nickname thanks to its wild number of rings. A smaller galaxy shot through its heart 50 million years ago to help create a cosmic wonder.
'Bull's-eye!' Hubble telescope spots record-shattering 9-ring galaxy — and the cosmic 'dart' that smashed through its center
Scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope have spotted a record-smashing galaxy wrapped in 9 rings of stars — along with the dwarf galaxy that violently plunged through its center.
"Bullseye" galaxy and its nine beautiful rings captured by Hubble
A small blue dwarf galaxy passed through the massive Bullseye galaxy. This impact created nine rings of new stars.
Straight shot: Hubble investigates galaxy with nine rings
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a cosmic bullseye. The gargantuan galaxy LEDA 1313424 is rippling with nine star-filled rings after an "arrow"—a far smaller blue dwarf galaxy—shot through its heart.
Hubble Reveals Cosmic Bullet That Gave The Bullseye Galaxy Its Record-Breaking Rings
So-called ring galaxies are extremely rare in the Universe, and they are thought to be the result of a very specific set of circumstances. Although space is mostly empty, galaxies are drawn together along filaments of the cosmic web, resulting in more collisions between them than you might expect.
Hubble sees a rare ‘bullseye’ galaxy with nine mesmerizing rings
Astronomers have discovered a unique collisional ring galaxy, nicknamed the "Bullseye," that features nine rings, the most observed in a collisional ring galaxy to date.
Hubble Telescope captures cosmic collision from 50 million years ago
The Hubble Telescope took a snapshot of what astronomers are calling the Bullseye Galaxy. The distant galaxy contains nine rings of stars that were formed when a blue dwarf galaxy crashed through the center of the galaxy.
