The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a never-before-seen optical alignment in space: a pair of glowing rings, one nestled inside the other like a bull's-eye pattern. The double-ring pattern is caused by the complex bending of light from two distant galaxies strung directly behind a foreground massive galaxy, like three beads on a string.

We also present two additional results from Hubble:

The violent lives of galaxies: caught in the cosmic matter web
Astronomers are using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to dissect one of the largest structures in the Universe as part of a quest to understand the violent lives of galaxies. Hubble is providing indirect evidence of unseen dark matter tugging on galaxies in the crowded, rough-and-tumble environment of a massive supercluster of hundreds of galaxies.

Hubble finds that 'blue blobs' in space are orphaned clusters of stars
Hubble has revealed that mysterious ‘blue blobs’ in a structure called Arp’s Loop between M81 and M82 are blue clusters of stars less than 200 million years old with many stars as young as, and even younger than, 10 million years.

Notes for editors:
The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between ESA and NASA.

Hubble - graceful dance of interacting galaxies
Two galaxies, containing a vast number of stars, swing past each other in a graceful dance choreographed by gravity, as seen by Hubble.
Extreme star cluster in new Hubble images
The gigantic nebula NGC 3603 hosts one of the most prominent, massive, young clusters in the Milky Way. Hubble has been observing this prime location for star formation studies.
