Recently, the Hubble Space Telescope succeeded in capturing images of a galaxy resembling a 'bullseye.' This target galaxy is about 2.5 times the size of our Milky Way. Known as a collisional ring galaxy, this galaxy has nine rings radiating from the center. According to telescope observations, a blue dwarf located in the left center is passing through the core of the giant galaxy, confirmed to have a potential collision due to gravitational interactions. The bullseye galaxy is located about 567 million light-years away in the constellation Pisces.
