What happened

Jellyfish mesmerise in their own museum in Florida With neon lights and mesmerising creatures, a museum in Pompano Beach, Florida, is believed to be the first in the US dedicated entirely to jellyfish.

Why it matters

These ancient sea creatures have lived in the oceans for more than 500 million years, predating dinosaurs and trees.

Common ground

The nearly 10,000-square-foot (900 square meters) facility houses roughly 20 unique species with 21 different display tanks.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
