Faszination Plankton – so schön sind die Unterwasserorganismen

Plankton sieht wunderschön aus. Vor kurzem gelang es erstmals, ihre zelluläre Architektur sichtbar zu machen.

This is the kind of dream #photography that many would like to #shoot. This #picture from Petr Horálek taken in the #Maldives last February shows the #MilkyWay over a beach, with a #meteor passing by.

What's make this #image so gorgeous is the #bioluminescence of the #planktons, which are even brighter than the stars.

Just a pity the #sky is polluted by artificial #lights.

"Researchers at the ICM-CSIC observed that plankton in polar oceans emits benzene and toluene, two gases of biological origin that contribute to cloud formation and affect climate".

New study highlights the impact of two new marine gases on climate models’ accuracy

In addition to oxygen, nitrogen or carbon dioxide, the air we breathe contains small amounts of organic gases, such as benzene and toluene. These oxidize into small particles or aerosols that contribute to the condensation of water in the droplets that form clouds. Now, a study by the Institut de Cièncias del Mar (ICM-CSIC), the Instituto de Química Física Rocasolano (IQFR-CSIC) and the Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) stresses the importance of clouds, which filter solar radiation, for understanding past and future climate changes.
