The new galaxy is known as PGC 1000714 has a core in the middle of two star rings.

The outer ring of blue stars in this type of galaxy is about 0.13 billion years old whereas the inner core is much more ancient having approximately 5.5 billion years old.

The outer and Inner core has different colours

In the research it has been found that the secondary ring of stars is inside the outer ring of young blue stars and the stars are more ancient than the youngest outermost stars.
