Scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope found a galaxy with nine rings of stars, breaking the previous record by six rings. They think these rings formed when a smaller galaxy crashed into the big one 50 million years ago, making waves like a pond's ripples. The waves pushed gas and dust into rings that now shine around the galaxy's center. The smaller galaxy is still connected by gas and is visible next to the big one. The rings aren't evenly spaced like a target; they're bunched closer to the center and farther apart as you go out. The first rings formed quickly and spread wide, while the later ones gathered slowly. Eventually, the rings will fade away, but they help scientists understand how galaxies make rings. The Hubble Space Telescope will be replaced by the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which can see many more galaxies. Scientists hope to find more galaxies with multiple rings soon.
