Stunning Photo of Cosmic Jellyfish Captured by Hubble Telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of the jellyfish galaxy JO206, located 700 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of Aquarius. The galaxy is characterized by tendrils of gas that are ripped from it as it moves through the intracluster medium of galaxy clusters, leading to intense bouts of star formation called starbursts. Hubble observations have revealed that star formation in the tendrils of JO206 is proceeding in mostly the same way as it does in the galaxy's main body, implying that star birth in jellyfish galaxies isn't strongly influenced by the environment of newly born stars.
