Astronomers using the Hubble space telescope found a galaxy that is very similar to the target. The official name LEDA 1313424 also received the nickname " The peculiarity of the galaxy is that it has more rings created during a collision with another galaxy than other well -known similar astronomical objects. The study published by The Astrophysical Journal Letters, Space writes.

LEDA 1313424 galaxy, which is 2.5 times larger than the Milky Way in size, has 9 well -expressed rings, which is 6 rings more than any other famous galaxy. These rings are filled with interstellar gas and stars and were created as a result of a rare collision of galaxies about 50 million years ago, scientists say.

The study showed that the blue dwarf galaxy flashed through the center of the Michen galaxy and such clashes of galaxies are very rare. It was like if you threw a stone into the lake, after which circles form on the water. At measure, the same thing happened in this case, when the blue dwarf galaxy, visible in the photo to the left of the LEDA 1313424 galaxy, after the collision created 9 amazing rings from stars at once.

According to scientists, this clash led to the emergence of new regions of the formation of stars in the Michen Galaxy, because it got an additional interstellar gas, which also made rings brighter thanks to the light of new stars.

Now the dwarf galaxy and the Galaxy LEDA 1313424 connects the barely visible strip of galactic gas and, although they seem to be near, in fact, two objects shares about 130,000 light years.

According to scientists, the Galaxy "

Astronomers believe that the LEDA 1313424 galaxy could have a tenth ring and it could be much further from the extreme ring, but it has already disappeared.

The authors of the study say that the discovered galaxy is a confirmation of the existing theory that with such clashes of the galaxies, the ring expand out from the place of collision.

Astronomers came to the conclusion that the first internal rings of the Michen Galaxy were created quickly enough, and the rest of the rings were created in a more chaotic manner, because the span of the dwarf galaxy had the greatest influence on the creation of the first rings.

Now astronomers want to find more such galaxies to improve the clash of such astronomical objects. Scientists also want to find out how rare clashes are actually when the dwarf galaxy rushes through the center of the larger galaxy.

As Focus already wrote, stones flying faster than bullets created two huge recesses on the moon. In order to create two deep and long forms of relief, it took about 10 minutes.

Focus also wrote that according to another study, the planet suitable for life rotates around dead stars, although it was believed that this could not be.
