According to NASA, it’s possible that the blue ring of stars may be the shredded remains of a galaxy that passed nearby. Some astronomers estimate that the encounter occurred about 2 to 3 billion years ago. Image Description: A rare ring galaxy featuring a nearly perfect outer ring of young, bright blue stars surrounding a yellowish, densely packed core.
