This illustration shows the massive galaxy nicknamed the Bullseye face-on. Dotted circles indicate where each of its rings are, which formed like ripples in a pond after a blue dwarf galaxy (not shown) shot through its core about 50 million years ago. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope helped researchers carefully pinpoint the location of most of its rings, many of which are piled up at the center. Data from the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii helped the team confirm another ring. Credit: NASA, ESA, Ralf Crawford (STScI)

Galactic Bullseye: Hubble Catches a Galaxy with Nine Rings

Gaia-4b is a planet orbiting the star called Gaia-4, around 244 light-years away. Gaia-4b is about twelve times more massive than Jupiter. With an orbital period of 570 days, it is a relatively cold gas giant planet. Gaia-5b is a brown dwarf orbiting the star Gaia-5, around 134 light-years away from Earth. With a mass of around 21 Jupiters, Gaia-5b is more massive than a planet but too light to sustain the nuclear fusion necessary to be a star. This artist impression visualizes a portion of both objects' orbital motions as determined by Gaia's astrometric data. The stars and planets are not to scale. Credit: ESA/Gaia/DPAC/M. Marcussen

This 2018 artist’s concept shows what the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system may look like, based on available data about the planets’ diameters, masses and distances from the host star (far left). According to a new exoplanet system architecture classification scheme, this system is a "peas in a pod" system. NASA/JPL-Caltech
