Un equipo de investigadores submarinos encuentra una increíble "medusa de fuegos artificiales".
Los investigadores a bordo del E/V Nautilus celebraron el nuevo año 2018 con una extraña invitada, una hermosa medusa Halitrephes maasi encontrada a una profundidad de 4,000 pies bajo el agua en el archipiélago de Revillagigedo en Baja California, México.

A Burst of Deep Sea Fireworks: Halitrephes Jelly | Nautilus Live
We're starting this year with deep sea fireworks, and a spirit of exploration! When something remarkable floats by in the middle of sampling operations, our team quickly switches gears to marvel and document.
The frilled tentacles of the Halitrephes maasi jelly came into view at 1225m in the Revillagigedo Archipelago off Baja California, Mexico. Radial canals that move nutrients through the jelly's bell form a starburst pattern that reflects the lights of ROV Hercules with bright splashes of yellow and pink--but without our lights this gelatinous beauty drifts unseen in the dark.
E/V Nautilus is exploring unknown regions of the ocean seeking out new discoveries in biology, geology, and archaeology. Join us 24/7 for live video from the seafloor and to ask questions of our explorers currently aboard Nautilus: www.nautiluslive.org.
