With rampant wild fires occurring in the most surprising locations causing unthinkable destruction to the harshest of winters in the unlikeliest areas, we are seeing the ravaging effects of a climate and planet neglected. The climate conversation has never been more ubiquitous. Even the very contours of this world are still unmapped: We probably know more about the surface of Mars than we know about the ocean floor. Their behaviors and adaptations remain inexplicable. Many of its creatures are still unknown to us - both in kind and number. The ocean, in this light, is like an alien world within our own. The Earth is mainly a water world - more than 70 percent of its surface is covered by oceans - and yet we know so little about what resides beneath the waves. 7 ocean mysteries scientists haven’t solved yet.

According to a video posted by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), the newly identified deep-sea jellyfish species - called Atolla reynoldsi - is part of the Atolla jellyfish family.
