A blue dwarf galaxy pitched through the bullseye's galactic neighborhood 50 million years ago, leaving behind nine glittering rings.

In a study published today by The Astrophysical Journal Letters, a research team led by Yale University’s Imad Pasha identifies nine visible ring-shaped ripples in the structure of the galaxy, formally known as LEDA 1313424. The galaxy is 567 million light years from Earth in the constellation Pisces.

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.

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.

The galaxy is nicknamed Bullseye, and it measures 2 1/2 times the diameter of the Milky Way.

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.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a breathtaking and unprecedented sight in deep space—a galaxy rippling with nine expanding rings, forming what looks like a giant cosmic bullseye. This rare galactic formation,
