Hubble spots a cosmic bullseye

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 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.
Hubble Hits A Cosmic Bullseye With Stunning Shot Of A Gargantuan 9-Ringed Galaxy
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope had captured a ringed galaxy (LEDA 1313424) that not only heavily resembles a bullseye, but with nine (perhaps more) 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 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 telescope locates gargantuan galaxy with nine mysterious rings
Hubble Telescope previously discovered eight rings of the gargantuan structure, but astronomers confirmed the ninth ring with the help of Hawaii's WM Keck Observatory
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.
Hubble Finds Record Nine Rings in Distant Galaxy
In a study that was published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, astronomers used Hubble to find eight observable rings—more than any other observatory has ever seen in any galaxy—and used data from Hawaii's W.
NASA's Hubble Telescope Discovers Gargantuan Bullseye Galaxy With Most Rings Ever Found
Imad Pasha, the lead researcher and a doctoral student at Yale University called it a "serendipitous discovery" because it has the most number of rings than any spiral galaxy found to date. While Hubble discovered eight rings of the galaxy, the ninth one was confirmed through observations using Hawaii-based Keck observatory.
Bullseye: Record nine-ring giant galaxy found, 2.5x the size of the Milky Way
In a remarkable astronomical discovery, a team of researchers led by Yale University has uncovered an extraordinary galaxy known for its distinct structure of nine concentric rings. Officially designated as LEDA 1313424,
