3 days ago · 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. Astronomers using Hubble identified eight visible rings, more than previously detected by any telescope in any galaxy, and confirmed a ninth using data from the W. M. Keck Observatory in ...

3 days ago · This image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, released on Feb. 4, 2025, shows the gargantuan galaxy LEDA 1313424, aptly nicknamed the Bullseye.A far smaller blue dwarf galaxy went through the Bullseye’s center, leaving nine star-filled rings. Astronomers using Hubble identified eight visible rings, more than previously detected by any telescope in any galaxy, and confirmed a ninth using ...

3 days ago · LEDA 1313424, aptly nicknamed the Bullseye, is two and a half times the size of our Milky Way and has nine rings — six more than any other known galaxy. High-resolution imagery from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope confirmed eight rings, and data from the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii confirmed a ninth. Hubble and Keck also confirmed which ...

3 days ago · A Yale-led team of astronomers has discovered a cosmic rarity: a super-sized galaxy with nine concentric rings. Officially known as LEDA 1313424, the “Bullseye” galaxy got its rings about 50 million years ago after a much smaller galaxy collided with its midsection — like a cosmic dart landing dead center in a game of Knockout at the local pub.

3 days ago · This image of collisional ring galaxy LEDA 1313424, nicknamed the Bullseye, was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope’s Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). The image shows a scale bar, compass arrows, and color key for reference. The scale bar is labeled in light-years along the top, which is the distance that light travels in one Earth-year.
