One of the interesting things about science is that we know more about space than we do about the seas. As studies continue to discover what is in the depths of the seas, we often encounter interesting creatures.
The Nautilus rover, named after Jules Verne’s novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, continues its exploration work in western Hawaii. The Nautilus team shared a video of a sea creature with the phrase “an exciting discovery” in a tweet.
Viewed at a depth of 3000 meters
The interesting creature that navigates with this tentacle system was photographed 3000 meters under the sea with a remotely controlled vehicle used by the Nautilus team. Although the length of this sea creature is not fully understood in the video, its length reaches 2 meters. This creature, called the Solumbellula sea pen, was discovered on the Johnston atoll in western Hawaii.
The study at the Johnston atelier took place between 20 June and 13 July. The aim of the study was explained as discovering the biodiversity in the region. Nautilus is part of the nonprofit Ocean Exploration Trust. The purpose of the organization is to identify the biodiversity of the seas and to help protect it.
The Nautilus ship also managed to view many interesting creatures in the depths. Among them is an interesting and rare jellyfish. The research team said that the wide distribution of Solumbellula in the Pacific is important to remind us of the biodiversity in the seas. As the depths of the seas are explored, many different species will be discovered.
