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. Astronomers using Hubble identified eight visible rings, more than previously detected by any telescope in any galaxy, and confirmed a ninth using ...

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.

Feb 4, 2025 · In reality, this striking pattern formed 50 million years ago, when a small blue dwarf galaxy (visible in the image to the center-left) ploughed through the massive bullseye, formally dubbed...

Feb 4, 2025 · Both the Hubble Space Telescope and the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii proved that the Bullseye galaxy has nine rings — six more than any other known galaxy. Plus, Hubble identified which galaxy dropped through the Bullseye’s core: The blue dwarf galaxy that now “sits” directly to its left. ... NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has ...

6 days ago · LEDA 1313424, aptly nicknamed the Bullseye, is two and a half times the size of our Milky Way and has nine rings — six more than any other known galaxy. High-resolution imagery from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope confirmed eight rings, and data from the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii confirmed a ninth.

Feb 6, 2025 · Hubble's successor, NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, is scheduled to launch in May 2027. With a field of view 100 times larger than Hubble's, it promises to capture light from millions ...

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 · 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.

3 days ago · The Hubble Space Telescope’s latest stunning images have allowed scientists to solve the mystery of the Bullseye Galaxy’s plentiful rings.
