Check Out NASA’s New Image of the Brilliant Bullseye Galaxy, the Aftermath of a Rare Cosmic Collision
After a blue dwarf galaxy shot through it like an arrow, the large Bullseye now has nine rings—six more than any other galaxy known to scientists
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.
New NASA photo shows ‘Bullseye’ galaxy
(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.
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.
