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.
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.
Hubble Reveals Cosmic Bullet That Gave The Bullseye Galaxy Its Record-Breaking Rings
Just like fingerprints and snowflakes, no two galaxies in the entire Universe are exactly alike. But a new discovery 567 million light-years away really is jaw-droppingly unique. There, astronomers have found a galaxy girdled by,
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.
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 Hits A Cosmic Bullseye With Stunning Shot Of A Gargantuan 9-Ringed Galaxy
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
Hubble telescope locates gargantuan galaxy with nine mysterious rings
Hubble Telescope previously discovered eight rings of the gargantuan structure, but astronomers confirmed the ninth ring with the help of Hawaii's WM Keck Observatory
NASA Hubble Space Telescope spots a rare ‘bullseye’ galaxy collision with nine rings
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a galaxy resembling a bullseye, with multiple rings expanding from its centre.
NASA's Hubble Telescope Discovers Gargantuan Bullseye Galaxy With Most Rings Ever Found
Imad Pasha, the lead researcher and a doctoral student at Yale University called it a "serendipitous discovery" because it has the most number of rings than any spiral galaxy found to date. While Hubble discovered eight rings of the galaxy, the ninth one was confirmed through observations using Hawaii-based Keck observatory.
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.
