Scientists just pulled up a record-breaking core sample from this Lost City, hoping it holds secrets about how life began on Earth (and maybe on other planets). But deep-sea mining could threaten this ancient wonder, so experts want it protected before we mess it up. This place is straight out of sci-fi! #Science #LostCity #OceanMysteries10Share
Michael Flores+FollowThere’s a Giant Ocean Hole Full of Wild VirusesScientists just found a massive sinkhole under the South China Sea that’s basically a vault for microscopic life—and it’s packed with 1,700 mysterious viruses, most of which are totally new to science. Instead of just being “bad guys,” these viruses might actually be secret engineers of the ocean, shaping ecosystems and even the climate. It’s like a real-life sci-fi lab at the bottom of the sea, and we’re only just starting to crack the code! #Science #OceanMysteries #ScienceNews00Share
Michael Flores+FollowYou Won’t Believe This Monster WaveImagine a wave so huge it lifts a buoy 58 feet in the air—like a four-story building! In 2020, off British Columbia, scientists recorded the most extreme 'rogue wave' ever, nearly three times bigger than the waves around it. These freak waves are super rare (like once every 1,300 years), but climate change could make them more common. The wildest part? We only know about it because a buoy happened to be in the right place at the right time! #Science #RogueWave #OceanMysteries20Share
Michelle York+FollowMonterey Bay diver stumbles on rare deep-sea kingA king-of-the-salmon—usually found nearly 3,000 feet deep—was spotted just 15 feet below the surface in Monterey Bay! Local diver Ted Judah couldn’t believe his luck, describing the silvery, ribbon-like fish as a surreal sight gliding near McAbee Beach. Even marine biologists were surprised, with experts confirming it’s only the second sighting this year. The fish’s name comes from Indigenous lore, believed to guide salmon back to their spawning grounds. Encounters like this make you wonder what other deep-sea mysteries might be lurking just out of sight. Anyone else ever had a wild ocean encounter? #Science #MontereyBay #OceanMysteries10Share
martinezlaura+FollowDeepest Blue Hole Ever Found!Imagine diving into a sinkhole so deep, scientists still haven’t hit the bottom! The Taam Ja' Blue Hole off Mexico just shattered records at over 420 meters deep—way deeper than anyone thought. The wildest part? It might be connected to the ocean through secret tunnels. There’s a whole underwater world down there we barely know about. Who else wants to see what’s hiding at the bottom? #Science #BlueHole #OceanMysteries61Share
