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.

(CNN) – A new image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope shows what is nicknamed “The Bullseye.” Its real name is Gargantuan Galaxy Leda 1313424. The galaxy has star-filled rings from a blue dwarf galaxy that went through it. Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists now believe “The Bullseye” has nine rings.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a galaxy resembling a bullseye, with multiple rings expanding from its centre.

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.

Around 50 million years ago, a blue dwarf galaxy shot through the center of an enormous galaxy more than twice the size of the Milky Way, called LEDA 1313424. Now, astronomers have revealed the spectacular result of this record-breaking collision: nine starry rings,

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a breathtaking and unprecedented sight in deep space—a galaxy rippling with nine expanding rings, forming what looks like a giant cosmic bullseye. This rare galactic formation,
