Pan of Jellyfish Galaxy JO204: Shaped by Ram Pressure | Hubble

Here we see JO204, a ‘jellyfish galaxy’ so named for the bright tendrils of gas that appear in this image to be drifting lazily below JO204’s bright central bulk. The galaxy lies almost 600 million light-years away in the constellation Sextans. This image was captured by the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope.
