34. Cosmic Jellyfish
Back in 2017, NOAA came across something they ended up dubbing the “Cosmic Jellyfish.” It’s not hard to see why, as it’s quite beautiful and able to draw you in as a result. Now known to science as “Rhopalonematid trachymedusa,” they tend to be at lower sea depths where humans are not likely to frequent. However, they are also quite dangerous.
Like other jellyfish, they have the ability to sting, and even kill. While this often occurs with other marine life, there have been stories of jellyfish, similar to the Cosmic Jellyfish, coming in contact with humans. The ability to draw one in with beauty and then kill is a trait of many jellyfish it seems. The Cosmic Jellyfish proves beauty can be horrifying.
