Hubble’s high-resolution imagery allowed researchers to hone in on more of the Bullseye galaxy’s rings — and helped confirm ...

Not far from the larger galaxy is a smaller one, seen in visible light images using the Hubble Space Telescope. Observations ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope had captured a ringed galaxy (LEDA 1313424) that not only heavily resembles a bullseye, but with nine (perhaps more) rings ...

A small blue dwarf galaxy passed through the massive Bullseye galaxy. This impact created nine rings of new stars.

The discovery was made by Imad Pasha, a doctoral student at Yale University, who stumbled upon the unique galaxy while examining a ground-based imaging survey. "This ...

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 ...

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 ...

Observations taken using the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI), which is optimized for visible blue wavelengths, revealed that this smaller galaxy is not only close to Bullseye, at a distance of just ...

LEDA 1313424, aptly nicknamed the Bullseye, is two and a half times the size of our Milky Way and has nine rings — six more than any other known galaxy. High-resolution imagery from NASA’s ...

The research team said these rings likely formed when a smaller galaxy shot through the heart of the Bullseye galaxy roughly ...
