1 day ago · 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 …

1 day ago · The Bullseye galaxy, as it is colloquially called, also supports predictions from computational models, which suggest the rings expand outward from the point of collision. "That theory was ...

1 day ago · The blue dwarf galaxy’s straight trajectory through the Bullseye later caused material to move both inward and outward in waves, setting off new regions of star formation. How big is the Bullseye? Our Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light-years in diameter, and the Bullseye is almost two-and-a-half times larger, at 250,000 light-years across.

1 day ago · 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 ...

1 day ago · The Hubble Space Telescope just imaged a massive bullseye in space: LEDA 1313424, or the Bullseye Galaxy, which is about 2.5 times the size of the Milky Way. Despite the galaxy’s size, capturing ...

2 days ago · High-resolution imagery from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has allowed researchers to hone in on more of the Bullseye galaxy’s rings — and helped confirm which galaxy dove through its core. 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 ...

1 day ago · The Bullseye galaxy is two and a half times the size of our Milky Way and has nine rings. NASA, ESA, Imad Pasha (Yale), Pieter van Dokkum (Yale) Fifty million years ago, two galaxies met up in space.

2 days ago · How big is the Bullseye? Our Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light-years in diameter, and the Bullseye is almost two-and-a-half times larger, at 250,000 light-years across. The researchers used Hubble’s crisp vision to carefully pinpoint the location of most of its rings, since many are piled up at the center, and used Keck Observatory’s ...
