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 …

3 days ago · 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.

3 days ago · Summary Hubble’s high-resolution imagery allowed researchers to hone in on more of the Bullseye galaxy’s rings — and helped confirm which galaxy dove through its core.

1 day ago · 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.

1 day ago · NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured one of the most astonishing sights in the universe— a galaxy with nine concentric rings. This massive galaxy, LEDA 1313424, now nicknamed the Bullseye, appears to be rippling with star-filled rings, all created by a smaller blue dwarf galaxy that shot straight through its core like a cosmic arrow.

1 day ago · Not far from the larger galaxy is a smaller one, seen in visible light images using the Hubble Space Telescope. Observations taken using the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI), which is optimized for visible blue wavelengths, revealed that this smaller galaxy is not only close to Bullseye, at a distance of just 130,000 kilometers (about 80,000 miles), but linked.

2 days ago · Hubble allowed scientists to identify the precise positioning of most of the rings, but they aren’t as evenly spaced as the galaxy’s name—or even the magnificent image itself—would suggest.

3 days ago · NASA's Hubble Space Telescope spotted a cosmic Bullseye galaxy, revealing evidence of a rare kind of galactic collision.

3 days ago · A Yale-led research group has discovered “Bullseye,” a galaxy with nine rings that may help astronomers better understand galaxy evolution and dark matter.

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 ...

1 day ago · The Hubble Space Telescope investigated an incredible nine-ringed galaxy. The Bullseye galaxy is unlike anything seen before.

2 days ago · A small blue dwarf galaxy passed through the massive Bullseye galaxy. This impact created nine rings of new stars.

3 days ago · The Hubble Space Telescope just imaged a massive bullseye in space: LEDA 1313424, or the Bullseye Galaxy, which is about 2.5 times the size of the Milky Way.

2 days ago · The Hubble Space Telescope has captured this striking image of an unusual galaxy with a bullseye structure, as nine rings surround its central point.

3 days ago · 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.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures a record-setting view of a Bullseye galaxy with nine rings that were sparked by a starry smashup.

2 days ago · Astronomers have discovered a unique collisional ring galaxy, nicknamed the "Bullseye," that features nine rings, the most observed in a collisional ring galaxy to date.

3 days ago · The Bullseye galaxy’s size is staggering – spanning 250,000 light-years across, it dwarfs our Milky Way, which is about 100,000 light-years in diameter. The discovery required Hubble’s exceptional imaging capabilities to identify most of the rings, as many are clustered near the galaxy’s center.

2 days ago · 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. The research was …

Jan 23, 2025 · The result is a stunning panoramic view that provides the most detailed image yet of the entire galaxy; its science-packed features could revolutionize our understanding of how spiral galaxies across the universe form and evolve.
