Caption:
MT Haven one of the most spectacular wrecks I ever dove. 50m (165 feet) tall underwater with the wreck starting around 32m (105 feet) and the keel rests at 80m (260 feet) the ship was close to 335m (1100 feet) long before she sank in a wild fire in 1991 during a visit in the port of Genoa, Italy. The wreck is a short boat ride from Arenzano and is perfect for any wreck enthusiast and technical diver. There can be ripping currents near the surface so it's not always an easy dive. In this image my buddy @vrakdykaren is scootering next to the 25m (80 feet) high chimney. This image was awarded "highly commended" in the wreck category in UPY2022 finals. So far I have only visited this wreck one trip but I hope I can make it back there very soon again.

What you see here is known as Space Jellyfish Phenomenon
Yes, you read it right, that's actually a term given for a phenomenon.
A space jellyfish phenomenon is a type of twilight phenomenon. It is caused by sunlight reflecting off the high altitude rocket plume gases emitted by a launching rocket during morning or evening twilight. The observer is in darkness, while the exhaust plumes at high altitudes are still in direct sunlight. This luminous apparition is reminiscent of a jellyfish.
Really? You see a jellyfish? That's not what I see. Looks to me like a celestial body just shot out a load of cosmic plasm towards Uranus.
No word on what location this is:
Not a good place for a swim:
