Scientists have discovered an impressive galaxy with Hubble Space Telescope that has six more rings than other previously known galaxies and an arrow-like feature straight through its heart.

The new composite image, which combines hundreds of photos from the Hubble Space Telescope, shows the Andromeda Galaxy with more than 200 million individually resolved stars.

A small blue dwarf galaxy passed through the massive Bullseye galaxy. This impact created nine rings of new stars.

And secondly, the growth of supermassive black holes through the merger chain of progressively larger and larger black holes (triggered as galaxies collide and merge) may be supplemented by the ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured this striking image of an unusual galaxy with a bullseye structure, as nine rings ...

Galaxies collide or barely miss one another quite frequently on cosmic timescales, but it is extremely rare for one galaxy to dive through the center of another. The blue dwarf galaxy's straight ...
