In a prominent universe discovery, astronomers discovered a huge galaxy movement. The concentric ring of nine stars-this structure is so rare that it is stunned by scientists. The discovery of the most spectacular galaxy collision in the universe made an unprecedented glitter.
The galaxy was officially named LEDA 1313424, but it was nicknamed “bull market” by researchers, about twice as much as our own galaxy. Its unique loop mode seems to be because of the smaller galaxy piercing through the center of the arrow of the arrow, which forms ripples, and spread out like a wave in the cosmic pond.
The chief researcher of the study, Imam Pasha, a doctoral student at Yale University, said: “This is an accidental discovery.” “I am watching a ground -based imaging survey. When I see a galaxy with several transparent rings, I see I was immediately attracted by it.
Astronomers used NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and WM KECK Observatory to determine eight visible rings and confirmed the ninth place. The discovery is extraordinary-previous observation results of other galaxies show up to two or three rings.
The co -author of this study, Professor of Yale University Pieter G. Van Dokum said, “We are capturing the Erri at a very special moment.” “There is a very narrow window after the impact, When such a galaxy has so many rings. “
The collision of this cosmic masterpiece occurred about 50 million years ago. At that time, the galaxy of a blue dwarf hit the center of the denim. The intruder Milky Way can still be seen nearby. Although there are 130,000 light years, the annual separation of light years is connected to a larger galaxy through thin gas.
The size of Bullseye Galaxy is shocking-it spans 250,000 light years. It makes our galaxy dwarfing WAR, with a diameter of about 100,000 light years. The discovery requires the special imaging function of Hubble to identify most of the ring because many rings are gathered near the center of the galaxy.
Patham pointed out: “Without Hubble, this is impossible.”
The discovery provides unprecedented opportunities for astronomers to test long -term theories about the collision of the Galaxy. The spacing between the target heart and the obvious accuracy of the theoretical prediction and the obvious accuracy confirmed the model developed by scientists decades ago.
Van Dokum explained: “This theory develops on the day when some people see many rings.” “Confirm the long -term prediction of the cow galaxy, which is very satisfactory.”
Knowing these ring modes can help astronomers better predict how the galaxies develop after collision. If it is observed directly above, the ring will display a circular shape, and the spacing near the center is tighter, and it will gradually spread to the edges.
Researchers are continuing to study which stars existing before the collision, and then which stars have formed. This information will help improve the model and show how the Galaxy has developed in billions of years, including the disappearance of some rings.
Although this discovery is unexpected, astronomers may soon discover more galaxies, such as milk milk. Van Dokum said: “Once NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space telescope starts scientifically, interesting objects will be easier to pop up.” “We will understand the real rare of these spectacular events.”
The research was published on February 4, 2025 in the “Letter of Astronomical Physics College”, which is a major improvement in our understanding of the collision and its consequences. This shows that this dramatic universe impact may be more common than before, although seizing them at the right moment is still a rare opportunity.
