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.

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.

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.

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

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope spotted a cosmic Bullseye galaxy, revealing evidence of a rare kind of galactic collision.

The galaxy is nicknamed Bullseye, and it measures 2 1/2 times the diameter of the Milky Way.

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.

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,
