Do the words “twilight zone” conjure up that trippy black and white TV show from the 1950s? If so, maybe it’s time to update your mental database with this awesome story about the #OceanTwilightZone from @iflscience.bsky.social!

Even for those of us who don't speak fluid dynamics, this article gives a sense of the richness and complexity of marine snow and the biological pump. Awe-inspiring. ❄️🦠🐟 #ocean #oceantwilightzone #carbon www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The #mesopelagic zone, also called the #oceantwilightzone because it lies at depths where only a tiny little bit of light penetrates, has huge populations of small #fish species such as pearlsides and lanternfish (2/9)
