[ad_1] NASA's Hubble Space Telescope was launched and deployed by the space shuttle Discovery back in 1990. Surprisingly, NASA says that Hubble Telescope was designed to last roughly 15 years but it is still active and unravelling mysteries of space, galaxies, black holes, nebulae, and more. Now, the Hubble Telescope has captured the bizarre Galaxy JO204, which looks like a 'jellyfish'.This is actually called as a ‘jellyfish galaxy' which gets its name due to the bright tendrils of gas that appear in this image. Hubble observed Galaxy JO204 as part of a survey performed with the intention of better understanding star formation under extreme conditions. About the 'jellyfish' galaxyLocated in the Sextans constellation, the jellyfish galaxy is positioned nearly 600 million light-years from...

[ad_1] From galaxies, Sun, planets, to asteroids, meteors, and more, space is virtually infinite. These objects are of different sizes and shapes. Have you heard of a jellyfish galaxy? Yes, it exists! A jellyfish galaxy with trailing tentacles of stars hanging in inky blackness has been clicked by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Sharing the image of the same Hubble tweeted, "This image shows a "jellyfish" galaxy called JO201. As jellyfish galaxies move through space, gas is slowly stripped away – forming trails that look like tendrils illuminated by clumps of star formation!"Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) captured this galactic seascape. "A versatile instrument that captures images at ultraviolet, infrared, and visible wavelengths, WFC3 is the source of some of Hubble's most specta...
