PGC 1228197 known as WINGS J211347.41+022834.9 and JO206, is a large spiral galaxy located 700 million light-years away towards the constellation of Aquarius. [1] [2] The galaxy is estimated to be at least 160,000 light-years in diameter, making it somehow bigger than the Milky Way. With a radial velocity of 15,200 kilometers per second, it is slowly drifting away. It is classified as a jellyfish galaxy, mainly due to interactions from other galaxies, causing it to run into intracluster medium and stripping the gas from it, which causes long galactic tendrils of stars. [3] [4] It has an active galactic nucleus according to SIMBAD. [2]

ESO 137-001 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Triangulum Australe and in the cluster Abell 3627. As the galaxy moves to the center of the cluster at 1900 km/s, it is stripped by hot gas, thus creating a 260,000 light-year long tail. This is called ram pressure stripping. The intergalactic gas in Abell 3627 is at 100 million Kelvin, which causes star formation in the tails.

IC 5332, also known as PGC 71775 is an intermediate spiral galaxy about 30 million light-years away in the constellation Sculptor. IC 5332 is a delicate spiral galaxy that is unusually faint and beautifully symmetrical. As viewed from earth it is nearly face on. It has a very small central bulge and open spiral arms accounting for its classification (SABc). The galaxy lies in the direction of the galactic south pole.

PGC 2387685 is a peculiar galaxy located 440 million light-years in the Hercules constellation. The galaxy seems to be gravitationally interacting with another neighboring galaxy PGC 3087279, which in turn causes both of the galaxies to have distorted shapes. Together, they form the galaxy pair, ZW I 136.

PGC 29820 is a spiral galaxy located 600 million light-years away from the Solar System in the Sextans constellation. It is about 120,000 light-years in diameter and has high amounts of star formation rates. The reason is due to the ram pressure, which enables the dense gas to be compressed which eventually collapses to form new stars. Not only to mention, the galaxy's tendrils are also created, hence astronomers calling it a jellyfish galaxy. According to SIMBAD, it is classified as a Seyfert 2 galaxy which it contains an active nucleus.

PGC 65543, is a spiral galaxy, with extensive star forming regions, located in Indus. It is 650 million light-years away from the Solar System and approximately measuring 90,000 light-years in diameter. The tidal interactions from certain galaxies which PGC 65543 is moving towards to, have caused it to get distorted. Its star-forming gas and dust are dynamically stripped and formed into tendrils that stretch outwards, thus gives an appearance of a jellyfish galaxy.

PGC 4789 is a distant barred spiral galaxy in the Pisces constellation. It is located 675 million light-years from the Milky Way and seems to be interacting with its neighboring galaxies. it is known as Arp 48 in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies catalogue. In this class, PGC 4789 falls into galaxies that have at least one low surface brightness companion.

It is located in the constellation of Pisces and about 285,000 thousand light-years in diameter. With its neighboring galaxy PGC 212740, they together form Arp 70, the 70th number in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies which was created by Halton Arp.

IRAS 14348-1447 known as PGC 52270, are a pair of spiral galaxies located 1 billion light-years away in the constellation of Libra. The galaxy IRAS 14348-1447NE, is in the early process of merging with IRAS 14348-1447SW, causing gravity to pull stars from both galaxies and forming tidal tails. As the interaction takes place, molecular gas is swirled about and creating emission that is responsible for the galaxies' ultraluminous appearance.

The supernova that occurred in UGC 11105 in 2019, has long faded. It is outshone by the bright stars shown in the foreground. From the perspective on Earth, the Sun is 14 thousand trillion times brighter as compared to UGC 1105, if we to calculate the apparent magnitude for both objects. It is a possible active galactic nucleus candidate, according to SIMBAD.

PGC 2456 known as KAZ 364 and JO201, is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Cetus. A member of Abell 85 galaxy cluster, it is located 617 million light-years away from the solar system and is considered a jellyfish galaxy due to the fact the tendrils are seen drifting downwards from its core. This mainly occurs when such galaxies like PGC 2456, moves through high speeds across the galaxy clusters, causing ram pressure to stripped gas, thus forming tendrils full of star formation. It is listed as a Seyfert galaxy by SIMBAD, meaning it has an active galactic nucleus. PGC 2456 lies 360 kiloparsecs from the brightest cluster galaxy, Holmberg 15A.

IC 5337 or JW100, is a spiral galaxy located 800 million light-years away from the Solar System in the constellation of Pegasus. It is probably gravitationally bound to IC 5338, the brightest cluster galaxy in Abell 2626. IC 5337 is a jellyfish galaxy, mainly due to dynamic stripping pressure. Star-forming gas are thrown about, as the galaxy penetrates through the thin gas layer and causing them to drip from the galaxy's disc, giving it its unique appearance of a cosmic jellyfish. In the image, other galaxies can be seen in the background.
