On April 24, 2016 during an underwater mission in the Mariana Trench at a depth of 3,700 meters, scientists recorded a jellyfish that nobody had seen before. The Medusa was discovered near a site called Enigma Seamount, and according to researchers at the National Oceanic and atmospheric observation (OBTAIN), will be named as a new species belonging to the genus Crossota hydromedusa. The Mariana Trench, with 11 km depth, It is the deepest point in the oceans and the Earth's crust.

A new fish species discovered in huge depth Near the island of Guam in the Western Pacific Ocean, a few days ago discovered a new species of fish that is officially the "deeper" known fish in the world a depth of 8.143 meters. The fish has a very original form of body that surprised scientists.
Lava formations under the seabed Underwater volcanoes erupt quite often, and the flowing lava creates impressive formations on the seabed. The most prolific volcanic systems on Earth are hidden beneath the ocean depths. Scientists have estimated that there could be more than a million underwater volcanoes around the world. Volcanic eruptions result in a remarkable variety of formations as molten lava hardens at various rates in cold seawater, to form spectacular features such as bulbous cushions, hollow domes and canals, jagged pillars and folding leaves.
The DART spacecraft crashes into asteroid to change its trajectory After 10 months of space travel, the DART probe hit its target by dropping more than 20.000 km/h in the asteroid Dimorphos located about 11 million kilometers from Earth. The purpose of the mission was to deflect the orbit of the asteroid in order to protect us from an asteroid heading towards our planet. The images were captured by the probe before impact with the approximately 160-meter-diameter asteroid. It will take a few weeks for scientists to confirm that the asteroid has indeed deviated from its orbit.
Space Chang'e-4 mission lands on the moon Videos from spacecraft Chang'e-4 Chinese mission, as landing on the moon on January 3, 2019. An ancient conflict on the Moon left behind a huge crater called Aitken, 13 km depth. It is believed that the huge crater that probably exposes the deep lunar crust and mantle may. If Chang'e 4 can find and study the materials in the crater, will have a detailed view of the internal structure and origin of the moon.
1.000 meters below the sea Antarctic Nobody knew until now what is the deep ocean Antarctic. Now that we have the technology to get to the depths of the oceans, the scientist and explorer bottom Jon Copley became the first to come down to a depth of 1.000 measures in the Antarctic waters. Exotic creatures found there will surprise you.
The giant squid After 100 submersible missions and 400 hours, the Discovery Channel in collaboration with the Japanese television channel NHK succeeded for the first time capture a giant squid length 2,8 meters in its natural environment. The squid was located in the Pacific Ocean at a depth of 630 meters.
A strange creature on the bottom of the ocean Recorded by the camera in remote-controlled submarine at a depth of 1500 meters, During studying drilling in the Atlantic Ocean. Experts say that this is a very rare species of jellyfish named Deepstaria Enigmatica.

Scientists discover a species of bird that had been extinct for 140 years The moment two scientists realize they have photographed the Auwo bird, on Ferguson Island, in Papua New Guinea. This species has not been recorded since 1882 and has never been photographed. This is the photo.
The wreck of the ship Endurance was found, of explorer Ernest Shackleton The wreck of the ship Endurance, of the British explorer Ernest Shackleton who sank in 1915 off the coast of Antarctica, found in the Wendell Sea at depth 3.008m. "We are very excited to have identified and captured images of Endurance", said Mensun Bound, Director of the Exploration Mission organized by the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust. The sinking of the Endurance has become legendary due to the survival conditions of the crew, who camped on the ice for months before finding refuge on Elephant Island, but also the stories of Shackleton's daring journey to seek rescue with a few comrades in South Georgia and return to save his entire crew.
A giant jellyfish During a mission in November 2021, the Doc Ricketts submarine of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (GOOD) managed to film a giant jellyfish ghost (Stygiomedusa gigantea) at great depths in the Gulf of California. The jellyfish has a bell more than one meter wide and ribs like ribs that can extend over ten meters. In more than a century, only a hundred of these jellyfish have been observed, especially because of the inaccessible depth at which they live.
The transparent octopus This is a rare video of him "glass octopus" (Vitreledonella richardi), an almost transparent octopus whose only visible features are the optic nerve, the eyes and the digestive system. The existence of this transparent octopus has been known for more than 100 years, but this is the first time it has been recorded on video. Scientists filmed it in depth near the Phoenix Islands, Northeast of Sydney in Australia.
The landing of Perseverance Rover on Mars Amazing images that arrived on Earth on February 22, show video for the first time during a space mission to Mars. Cameras on the Perseverance Rover recorded for the first time a landing on the red planet from different angles, something for which until now we could only see photos.
Simulation of Earth collision with a planet the size of Mars A 3D simulation of Earth colliding with a planet the size of Mars, taking into account all the physical characteristics of the planets and the gravitational forces. The smallest planet is the planet Mars (radius 3,389 kilometers).
The largest 3D map of the universe On Monday, July 20, 2020, astrophysicists have unveiled the largest 3D map of the Universe ever created, as a result of more than twenty years of collaboration between scientists from around thirty different institutes worldwide. Designed by analyzing more than four million galaxies and quasars, Extremely bright galaxy nuclei. "This work simply gives us the most complete history of the expansion of the universe to date" said Will Percival, researcher from the University of Waterloo.
