Hubble Finds Record 9 Rings in Distant Galaxy

'Bull's-eye!' Hubble telescope spots record-shattering 9-ring galaxy — and the cosmic 'dart' that smashed through its center
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.
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 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 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 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 Reveals Cosmic Bullet That Gave The Bullseye Galaxy Its Record-Breaking Rings
So-called ring galaxies are extremely rare in the Universe, and they are thought to be the result of a very specific set of circumstances. Although space is mostly empty, galaxies are drawn together along filaments of the cosmic web, resulting in more collisions between them than you might expect.
"Bullseye" galaxy and its nine beautiful rings captured by Hubble
A small blue dwarf galaxy passed through the massive Bullseye galaxy. This impact created nine rings of new stars.
Hubble captures supernova-hosting galaxy in the constellation Gemini
The subject of this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image is a supernova-hosting galaxy located about 600 million light-years away in the constellation Gemini. Hubble captured this image roughly two months after a supernova named SN 2022aajn was discovered.
