Moon Jellyfish

These translucent jellyfish are named for their resemblance to Earth’s satellite—but the species has had an otherworldly experience. In 1991 moon jellies flew aboard the space shuttle Columbia during a study on weightlessness and the development of juvenile jellyfish. Here on Earth, the jellies are commonly found in warm ocean waters worldwide.
