IC 443 (also known as the Jellyfish Nebula and Sharpless 248 ) is a galactic supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation Gemini. On the plane of the sky, it is located near the star Eta Geminorum. Its distance is roughly 5,000 light years from Earth. IC 443 may be the remains of a supernova that occurred 30,000 - 35,000 years ago.
Messier 30 (also known as M30, NGC 7099, or the Jellyfish Cluster) is a globular cluster of stars in the southeast of the southern constellation of Capricornus, at about the declination of the Sun when the latter is at December solstice.
A jellyfish galaxy is a type of galaxy found in galaxy clusters. They are characterised by ram pressure stripping of gas from the affected galaxy by the intracluster medium , triggering starbursts along a tail of gas.
It was likely formed 30,000 years ago in the supernova that created the supernova remnant IC 443, the "Jellyfish Nebula." [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is travelling at approximately 800,000 km/h away from the site.
ESO 137-001, also known as the Jellyfish Galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy [2] located in the constellation Triangulum Australe and in the cluster Abell 3627. [6] As the galaxy moves to the center of the cluster at 1900 km/s, [ 4 ] it is stripped by hot gas, thus creating a 260,000 light-year long tail. [ 6 ]
Earlier this year, a team of researchers sent cameras down to the depths of the ocean. They likely didn't expect to see this creature swimming by. The Ocean Exploration Trust uploaded this video ...
A swarm of jellyfish was spotted in a river in Yokohama, Japan, on 6 June. Footage shows hundreds of the white translucent creatures floating just below the water's surface. Local officials said a ...
A space jellyfish (also jellyfish UFO or rocket jellyfish) is a rocket launch-related phenomenon caused by sunlight reflecting off the high-altitude rocket plume gases emitted by a launching rocket during morning or evening twilight. The observer is in darkness, while the exhaust plumes at high altitudes are still in direct sunlight.
