Dr Susi Arnott@APoD Amazing image, but please let us know whether any sampling done - #microalgae or #zooplankton ? And #moon trajectory as recorded, or #photoshopped ? #Latitude #timelapse #moon #bioluminescence
Dr. Juande Santander-Vela@SusiArnott @APoD from the link:
«The full Moon's nearly vertical descent results from the observer being near Earth's equator.
[…] Perhaps the most unusual glow was from the bioluminescent plankton»
I take the latter to mean zooplankton, not algae.
@juandesant @APoD Thank you so much! Up here in London we see the moon trace a curved arc through the sky:)
But would so love to know whether zooplankton exudate, or Noctiluca scintillans (or even something else) is lending blue to the sand #ScienceArt
