Nasa finds rare ‘bullseye’ galaxy with 9 star-filled rings, 250,000 light-years wide
Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope has captured LEDA 1313424, a galaxy with nine star-filled rings, the most ever detected, resulting from an impact with a smaller blue dwarf galaxy. This unique discovery was made by Yale doctoral student Imad Pasha. The galaxy is 250,000 light-years wide, twice the size of the Milky Way, with rings forming like ripples in water.
