Amazing imagery of dust being deposited into the ocean helping to create phytoplankton bloom conditions! "... much of the dust that can be seen streaming southward in the above Landsat 8 image will fall into the Arabian Sea where it will contribute to the fertilization of the phytoplankton communities that color the water there. If you click on the above image you will see that the dust pictured there is only a very small part of the total mass headed for the Indian Ocean on December 10, 2015." via NASA http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cms/

Gymnosomata, commonly known as Sea Angels. An apt name- the sea angels are the ethereal, translucent, fluttering angels of the sea. 

In hard scientific terms, they’re small swimming sea slugs, but we’ll pass over that for now and just admire how delicately beautiful these wonderful creatures are.
