Hubble telescope captures spectacular 'Bullseye' galaxy with nine rings
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured spectacular images of the cosmic wonder LEDA 1313424, also known as the 'Bullseye' galaxy. Assisted by Hawaii's W. M. Keck Observatory, astronomers identified an impressive nine star-filled rings – six more than any other known galaxy – formed by a galactic collision 50 million years ago.
Hubble Hits the ‘Bullseye,’ a Galaxy With Record-Breaking 9 Rings
But Hubble is a veteran at imaging galaxies, and the recent image reveals more rings around the Bullseye than previously known. The Bullseye is now confirmed to have nine rings, eight of which are visible to Hubble.
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.
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.
