New jellyfish discovery shows just how little we know about Earth's oceans
Description: A colorful creature, lit up like a children's toy with its tentacles extended in all directions like sunrays, has been spotted swimming the world's deepest ocean trench. The ethereal creature was captured on video as it swam about 2 miles below the surface of the sea by "Okeanos Explorer," a NOAA ship that discharges remotely operated vehicles into deep waters, and uses a hull-mounted, multibeam sonar to explore and map the sea.
