TL;DR Summary

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a stunning image of the "jellyfish galaxy" JW39, which is located over 900 million light-years away from Earth. The galaxy is known for its tentacle-like tails and hosts a supermassive black hole at its center. JW39 and its neighboring galaxies experience ram-pressure stripping, which reduces the amounts of gas and dust within galaxies, leading to galactic burnouts.
