. In this enchanting snapshot captured by Shane Gross, a celestial spectacle unfolds beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean. A mesmerizing smack of Moon jellyfish, known scientifically as Aurelia aurita, gracefully glides through the waters of Prince William Sound. As if plucked from a sci-fi movie scene, these ethereal creatures create an otherworldly mood with their eerie blue glow and delicate tentacles floating like ethereal ribbons.
