Weird Nine-Ringed ‘Bullseye Galaxy’ Found By NASA’s Hubble
The Hubble Space Telescope’s latest stunning images have allowed scientists to solve the mystery of the Bullseye Galaxy’s plentiful rings.
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 Discovers Unprecedented Nine-Ring Galaxy 567 Million Light-Years Away
Hubble Space Telescope discovers galaxy with unprecedented nine rings formed by cosmic collision, located 567 million light-years from Earth.
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.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Discovers a Cosmic Bullseye, Found to Be a Galaxy With Star-Filled Rings
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Discovers a Cosmic Bullseye, Found to Be a Galaxy With Star-Filled Rings Astronomers observed a unique image of a galactic collision between galaxies which created a bullseye in space.
Hubble Captures a Cosmic Bullseye, Revealing a Stunning Nine-Ring Galaxy
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. Seabirds like the Northern Gannet dive straight into the ocean to catch fish,
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.
Hubble Space Telescope spots a spectacular Bullseye in deep space (image)
The eight ripples seen by the Hubble Space Telescope in this cosmic scene marks the most ever seen in any galaxy, and data from the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii actually confirmed a ninth. "This would have been impossible without Hubble," Pasha said.
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.
