Hubble spots a cosmic bullseye

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.
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 sees a rare ‘bullseye’ galaxy with nine mesmerizing rings

Bullseye galaxy reveals stunning rings after galactic impact
A small blue dwarf galaxy passed through the massive Bullseye galaxy. This impact created nine rings of new stars.
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 finds gargantuan structure with nine mysterious rings in space
While eight rings around the galaxy were discovered by the Hubble Telescope, astronomers confirmed a ninth ring using data from the WM Keck Observatory in Hawaii.
Hubble Reveals Cosmic Bullet That Gave The Bullseye Galaxy Its Record-Breaking Rings
There, astronomers have found a galaxy girdled by, not one, but nine concentric rings – the aftermath of a violent encounter with a blue dwarf galaxy that shot right through its heart, sending shockwaves rippling out into space.
NASA space scientists spot cosmic bullseye
Hubble and Keck’s follow-up observations also helped the researchers prove which galaxy plunged through the center of Bullseye — a blue dwarf galaxy to its center-left. NASA e
Hubble Finds Record Nine Rings in Distant Galaxy
In a study that was published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, astronomers used Hubble to find eight observable rings—more than any other observatory has ever seen in any galaxy—and used data from Hawaii's W.
Bullseye: Record nine-ring giant galaxy found, 2.5x the size of the Milky Way
In a remarkable astronomical discovery, a team of researchers led by Yale University has uncovered an extraordinary galaxy known for its distinct structure of nine concentric rings. Officially designated as LEDA 1313424,
