Scientists have discovered a new jellyfish species in Japanese aquariums, complete with tiny brown spots that multiply like Michelin stars as it matures. The find proves aquariums aren't just pretty displays—they're frontiers for biodiversity discovery.
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted the oldest "jellyfish galaxy" ever seen, revealing how the universe shaped distant worlds long before Earth existed. This cosmic discovery is rewriting what scientists thought they knew about how galaxies formed in the early universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered a stunning galaxy with gaseous tentacles stretching behind it like a jellyfish, offering a glimpse 8.5 billion years into the past. This finding is rewriting what scientists thought they knew about how galaxies evolved in the early Universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning images of a galaxy nicknamed the "cosmic jellyfish" that existed 8.5 billion years ago. The discovery is rewriting what scientists thought they knew about how galaxies evolved in the early universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope captured a stunning "cosmic jellyfish" galaxy that's rewriting what scientists thought they knew about how galaxies evolved 8.5 billion years ago. The discovery shows the early universe was far more dynamic than expected.
Scientists exploring Argentina's deep ocean discovered 28 new species, including a giant phantom jellyfish as long as a school bus with 33-foot arms. The rare creature has been spotted fewer than 120 times since 1899.
Argentine scientists exploring the deep sea discovered a rare phantom jellyfish with arms stretching 33 feet long. The expedition also found the world's largest known cold-water coral reef teeming with unexpected life.

Scientists spotted a rare giant phantom jelly the length of a school bus gliding through Argentine waters 820 feet below the surface. The December expedition also uncovered 28 potential new species and revealed thriving deep-sea ecosystems no one knew existed.
Scientists exploring the deep sea off Argentina's coast spotted a giant phantom jellyfish nearly as long as a school bus. The rare sighting reveals how much wonder still exists in our ocean's least explored depths.
Scientists studying Earth's oldest animals are uncovering remarkable secrets about aging and regeneration. From immortal jellyfish to 400-year-old sharks, these creatures could help us understand how to live longer, healthier lives.
Scientists discovered that ancient jellyfish and sea anemones repair DNA damage while they sleep, pushing the origins of sleep back over 600 million years. The finding suggests sleep evolved not for dreams or memories, but as essential cellular maintenance.
A custom AI tool discovered over 1,300 strange space objects hiding in 35 years of Hubble telescope images, including colliding galaxies and jellyfish-shaped star systems. More than 800 had never been documented before.
A new AI tool discovered more than 1,000 unexplained cosmic objects hiding in decades of Hubble telescope images, including galaxies shaped like jellyfish and hamburgers. Scientists say dozens of these discoveries don't fit any known classification.
An AI tool discovered more than 1,400 mysterious objects hiding in decades of Hubble telescope images, including jellyfish galaxies and gravitational light shows. The breakthrough proves there are still cosmic treasures waiting in old data.
Scientists discovered that jellyfish and sea anemones sleep about eight hours daily, proving sleep existed before brains evolved. The breakthrough reveals why all animals need rest: to repair damaged DNA in their cells.
Scientists in Sweden created solar cells inspired by glowing jellyfish that behave more like living organisms than traditional panels. These flexible, bio-compatible cells could power medical devices and sensors where rigid silicon panels can't reach.
