PGC 29820 ( known as JO204) is a spiral galaxy located 600 million light-years away from the solar system in the Sextans constellation.^[1] It is about 120,000 thousand 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.^[2] Not only to mention, the galaxy's tendrils are also created, hence astronomers calling it a jellyfish galaxy.^[2] According to SIMBAD, it is classified as a Seyfert 2 galaxy which it contains an active nucleus.^[3]
