Feb 4, 2025 · 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. Astronomers using Hubble identified eight visible rings, more than previously detected by any telescope in any galaxy, and ...

Feb 8, 2025 · NASA ’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured an extraordinary cosmic bullseye. The massive galaxy LEDA 1313424 is rippling with nine distinct, star-filled rings — far more than astronomers have ever seen in a single galaxy.

Feb 4, 2025 · 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.

Feb 6, 2025 · 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 light-years, but linked.

Feb 6, 2025 · The 'Bullseye Galaxy' LEDA 1313424 has nine concentric rings of stars swirling around its core — that's six more rings than the previous record holder. ... pushed clouds of cosmic gas and dust ...

Feb 4, 2025 · 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.

Feb 6, 2025 · 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.

Feb 4, 2025 · 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 local pub.

Feb 5, 2025 · Check Out NASA’s New Image of the Brilliant Bullseye Galaxy, the Aftermath of a Rare Cosmic Collision. After a blue dwarf galaxy shot through it like an arrow, the large Bullseye now has nine ...
