Jul 13, 2016 · Cusk eel in the family Ophidiidae, photographed at a depth of more than 2000m at a Cretaceous seamount east of the Marianas Trench. This is in the genus Eretmichthys and may be the species E. pinnatus. This bizarrely beautiful jellyfish was filmed at a depth of 3700m. The surreal footage was captured on 24 April while exploring the Enigma ...
Jul 7, 2016 · The fish is the exact kind of discovery for which the NOAA scours the Marianas Trench and the Northern Mariana Islands. The area and trench, which is the deepest place in the ocean, is largely mysterious and unknown territory to biologists. The current expedition is part of a larger three-year campaign to better comprehend life within the ...
May 3, 2016 · The Mariana Trench is the deepest place in the ocean. In 2012, Hollywood director James Cameron completed the first solo descent of the trench’s deepest spot, 11km below the surface. The dive was aboard a submarine called the Deepsea Challenger , which was designed with Australian engineer Ron Allum and built and assembled in Sydney, New South Wales.
Apr 16, 2012 · During the three hours he spent deep in the Mariana Trench, Cameron filmed what he saw using cameras housed in titanium pressure cases. The largest camera on board the sub is a Red Epic, which captures IMAX-quality images, and projects them onto a screen in front of the pilot’s face. The sub’s movements are controlled with a joystick.
Sep 4, 2019 · The deepest is the Mariana Trench, near Guam in the North Pacific and its deepest part is known as the Challenger Deep, nearly a gobsmacking 11km below the surface. The pressure at this depth, due to the massive weight of the overlying water, is 1100 times that at sea level: about 16,000psi (pounds per square inch) compared with 14.7psi at the surface.
Mar 20, 2014 · One of the ocean’s deepest-living fish, tripod fish are found widely in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. A couple have been identified off the coast of Western Australia, and one was discovered near Flinders Island, just off Tasmania’s north-east coast. They thrive in depths of up to 6000m below the surface, together with other deep ...
Jun 25, 2024 · Now all grown, Jennah, like the whales she studies, migrates south each year to the tiny town of Bremer Bay, on the state’s southern coastline. Here she plies the ocean, which bubbles with marine life attracted by dramatic submarine canyons, some reaching more than 4500m in depth. “Seasonal upwellings, which occur in the Bremer and adjacent ...
Apr 1, 2016 · The Nullarbor – a dry, flat, 200,000sq.km savannah – stretches 1100km along the southern coast of Australia from Balladonia east of Norseman, WA, to north of Yalata in SA. Above ground it is famously featureless. Edward John Eyre, the first European to cross the Nullarbor in 1840–1841, described it as the “sort of place one gets into in ...
Earth is going to have its very own mini-moon from 29 September until 25 November. The regular Moon ’s new, temporary friend is 2024 PT₅, an asteroid captured from the Arjuna asteroid group (called the “Arjunas”). Our new mini-moon is approximately 10m in diameter and will be captured by Earth’s gravity for 57 days.
May 11, 2011 · It was 19 February 1942. The Japanese raiders struck just before 10 a.m., bombing and strafing the town and harbour, sinking eight ships and killing more than 250 people. Among them, famously, were nine civilian staff at Darwin Post Office, including post-master Hurtle Bald, his wife Alice and their daughter Iris.
