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 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.
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,
Hubble sees a rare ‘bullseye’ galaxy with nine mesmerizing rings
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.

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.
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.
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.
NASA Hubble Space Telescope spots a rare ‘bullseye’ galaxy collision with nine rings
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a galaxy resembling a bullseye, with multiple rings expanding from its centre.
'10,000 billion years in one shot': NASA's Hubble catches a galaxy ripped by time
NASA's Hubble captured LEDA 1313424, a galaxy with record-breaking nine star-filled rings, formed by a rare dwarf galaxy collision. This discovery confirms astrophysical models on galactic ripples.
Bullseye! Hubble spots ripples in space from a galaxy collision
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.
