Astronomers have discovered a rare galaxy with nine distinct rings, named the Bullseye Galaxy (LEDA 1313424). Found using Hubble Space Telescope and Keck Observatory, it shows signs of a past collision with a smaller blue dwarf galaxy. This cosmic interaction likely shaped its rings and may help scientists understand giant low surface brightness (GLSB) galaxies—critical
