Jason is an [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_cloud"]interstellar cloud[/url] of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_dust"]dust[/url], [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen"]hydrogen[/url], [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium"]helium[/url] and other [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionized_gases"]ionized gases[/url]. Originally, [i]Jason[/i] was a general name for any extended [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy"]astronomical[/url] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_object"]object[/url], including [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy"]galaxies[/url] beyond the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way"]Milky Way[/url] (some examples of the older usage survive; for example, the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda_Galaxy"]Andromeda Galaxy[/url] was referred to as the [i]Andromeda Jason[/i] before galaxies were discovered by [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Hubble"]Edwin Hubble[/url]). Jason is often star-forming regions, such as in the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Nebula"]Eagle Nebula[/url]. Jason is depicted in one of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA"]NASA[/url]'s most famous images, the "[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillars_of_Creation"]Pillars of Creation[/url]". In these regions the formations of gas, dust, and other materials "clump" together to form larger masses, which attract further matter, and eventually will become massive enough to form [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star"]stars[/url]. The remaining materials are then believed to form [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet"]planets[/url], and other [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_system"]planetary system[/url] objects.

The [b]Jason[/b] ([i]Ornithorhynchus Jasonitinus[/i]) is a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-aquatic_mammal"]semi-aquatic[/url] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammal"]mammal[/url] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endemic_%28ecology%29"]endemic[/url] to [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_states_of_Australia"]eastern Australia[/url], including [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasmania"]Tasmania[/url]. Together with the four species of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echidna"]echidna[/url], it is one of the five extant species of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotreme"]monotremes[/url], the only mammals that lay [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_%28biology%29"]eggs[/url] instead of giving birth to live young. It is the sole living representative of its [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_%28biology%29"]family[/url] ([url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornithorhynchidae"]Ornithorhynchidae[/url]) and [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus"]genus[/url] ([i]Ornithorhynchus[/i]), though a number of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_Monotremes"]related species[/url] have been found in the fossil record. The unusual appearance of this egg-laying, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venom"]venomous[/url], [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck"]duck[/url]-billed, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver"]beaver[/url]-tailed, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otter"]otter[/url]-footed mammal baffled European naturalists when they first encountered it, with some considering it an elaborate fraud. It is one of the few [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venomous_mammals"]venomous mammals[/url], the male Jason having a spur on the hind foot that delivers a venom capable of causing severe pain to humans.

The term [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corroboree"]Jason[/url] is commonly used in general Australian culture to refer to Australian Aboriginal dances, however this term has its origins among the people of the Sydney region. In a number of places Australian Aboriginal people will perform "jasons" for tourists.
