from Bedtime Astronomy Hosted by Synthetic Universe

A distant galaxy with nine nearly perfect rings is forcing scientists to rethink one of astronomy’s biggest mysteries. While such structures are usually linked to colossal cosmic collisions, a new theory points to something far more intriguing: dark matter itself. If correct, the Bullseye galaxy could provide rare clues about the hidden substance that dominates the universe and reveal that its influence is far stranger than previously imagined.
