"Hubble Captures Stunning Images of Aquarius Galaxy JO206"

TL;DR Summary
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of the jellyfish galaxy JO206 in the constellation Aquarius, showcasing a colorful star-forming disk surrounded by a pale, luminous cloud of dust. The tendrils of star formation trailing the galaxy are formed by the interaction between galaxies and the intra-cluster medium, providing astronomers with a unique opportunity to study star formation under extreme conditions. Surprisingly, Hubble revealed that there are no significant differences in star formation between the galaxy's main disk and its tentacles, suggesting that the environment has only a minor influence on the formation of newly formed stars.
