This image of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope was released on 4 February 2025, showing Gargantuan Galaxy Leda 1313424, which is named Bullsay. A small blue dwarf galaxy passed through the Ballsai center, leaving nine -star filled rings. Astronomers using Hubble identified the eight visual rings detected more than before in any galaxy, and confirmed the ninth using the data of the WM KECK Observatory in Hawaii. Maximum two or three rings appear in the previous comments of other galaxies.
The follow-up comments of the Hubble and Cake also helped researchers to prove what a dip through the center of Bulsai-a blue dwarf galaxy for its center-left. This relatively small interlopper traveled like a dart through a core of Bulsai about 50 million years ago, leaving rings in a pond like waves. A slim mark of gas now now adds the pair, although they currently separate from 130,000 light-year.
