JO204 is a jellyfish galaxy about 600 million light-years away in the constellation Sextans. Its glowing blue tendrils look like drifting tentacles, but they are gas torn out of the galaxy as it moves through the hot intergalactic medium filling its galaxy cluster. This effect is called ram pressure stripping, similar to how wind tugs at loose hair and clothes while the body stays put. The colder, denser gas that gets stripped can collapse and form new stars in the tendrils. Hubble's image is the third in a series on jellyfish galaxies, drawn from a survey of six such galaxies.

Hampi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Karnataka, India, with more than 1,600 surviving remains spread over 4,100 hectares. It was the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire from 1336 to 1565. Travellers from Persia and Portugal described it as a prosperous, wealthy and grand city with temples, markets and farms along the Tungabhadra River. By 1500 it was estimated to be the world's second-largest city after Beijing, and probably India's richest at the time. In 1565 a coalition of Muslim sultanates defeated the Vijayanagara Empire, its capital was conquered and destroyed, and the city was left in ruins. Hampi remains a religious centre, with the active Virupaksha Temple at its heart.
