Hubble Space Telescope discovers galaxy with unprecedented nine rings formed by cosmic collision, located 567 million light-years from Earth.

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

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,

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.

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.

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.
