Although fortunate, this is a great discovery that we owe Hubble and Yale University researchers: a galaxy that has nine thumbs! Earlier, he was known as the small poetic name of Lida 1313424, but his complex structure was not yet seen. He has now named the Bad Galaxy, the “target galaxy”.
“It’s authenticitySaid Emad Pasha, a doctorate student at Yale University (Connecticut). I consulted with the imaging study on the ground, and when I saw a galaxy with several clear circles, I immediately. He was attracted to himself. I had to stop for investigation, and it was the team that called it the target Galaxy.
If we compare it to our sky, its diameter is about 250,000 light years with about 250,000 light years, from which it is a cosmic jognat your galaxy “only” 100,000 light years. The target is in the direction of the galaxy fish tower, at some distance from the land of 567 million light years, so our laniakia is out.

The ring filled with gas, stars and planets
In fact, it is a spiral galaxy that another crossed about 50 million years ago, in the middle of it, at the beginning of the article, we see ‘blue, on the left of the picture. This is also the reason for its target galaxy, because the arrow still exists. These are the spiral arms that, because of this interaction, adopt this painted structure full of gas, stars and planets.
In this way, we observe this galaxy at a very exact moment in its history, but there is also an ideal angle of theory that produces highly concentrated colors.
A ninth ring to rule all of them
It should be noted that only eight circles appear in the bare eyes, but a ninth was detected through a cake telescope.

Last very interesting point: This change in spiral galactic weapons rings was predicted by mathematics models on the crossing scenario through a dwarf galaxy, but this little worldly window was never observed. So this is a pleasant confirmation of the theory that Hubble is allowed.
“It is extremely beneficial to confirm this long forecast with the target galaxy”Co -author of the study, Peter Van Docum, said.
