Colossal Squid Seen On Video

 


The Ocean is full of life. What the ecosystem and organisms residing there remain a mystery. The colossal squid was filmed for the first time. Now there is video confirmation of this type of cephalopod. The camera was able to capture the squid at a depth of  600 meters. Many questions are going to arise from this new footage. The behavior of the colossal squid is unknown. More research is required to understand how the organism functions in their natural habitat. Marine biologist speculate this squid shown on video is adolescent age. The colossal squid is believed to grow up to 7 meters. The total weight of this organism can be up to 500 kg. The colossal squid was first identified in 1925. Prior to this scientists and sailors could have seen these animals. The video confirmation only reveals how much is unknown about the Ocean. An estimated 2,000,000 marine species are in the Ocean. Zoologists and marine biologists have not classified them all. Large organism could be occupying most ocean floors and deep depths. The colossal squid must have an ability to illuminate its body. Depths that far in the ocean can be dark. The colossal squid's specific diet must be immense. Fish are a food supply, which could explain why these squids attain large size. With video cameras that can go deeper into the Ocean, marine biology will undergo rapid advancement. The colossal squid's eating habits, behavior, or possible migration patterns can become known.

The 2025 Planetary Alignment

 


A planetary alignment will be visible in the night sky on February 28th, 2025. All planets can be seen. Getting a better view of Neptune or Uranus requires a strong telescope. Those who are located in the Northern Hemisphere can see this phenomena around 8:30 pm. The term planetary alignment can be misleading. The planets of the Solar System are not lined up perfectly. This is a depiction that comes from diagrams and various images. The term refers to planets being visible in the night sky simultaneously . The planets still remain far from each other in relation to solar orbits. Earth is situated in a place that allows other planets to be visible. Some in the general public call it a planetary parade. That is not specific to what is going on with the planets. The planets arranged on the same side of the Sun. Planetary alignments are of interest to astronomers for study. Conjunctions are planets between two other celestial bodies. Opposition describes refers to celestial bodies on other sides of Earth. The mechanics of orbits astronomers want to document. Planetary alignments can be frequent. Prior to the upcoming event, another happened in January. More will occur in a few years.
