please don't be intimidated by me, I'm a fucking dork

So there’s this person….❤️‍🔥♥️😍

Wow

Stygiomedusa gigantea, commonly known as the giant phantom jelly is a part of the monotypic genus of deep sea jellyfish, Stygiomedusa. This is in the Ulmaridae family. It can't actually sting you as its—30-foot-long—”mouth arms” are just there to trap prey rather than sting them.

This ghostly giant is a rare sight.

MBARI's ROVs have logged thousands of dives, yet we have only seen this spectacular species nine times. The first specimen of the giant phantom jelly was collected in 1899, but it was not until 60 years later that scientists recognized this as a new species.

Had to add this on for perspective.

kind reminder that vintage = 20-99 years of age antique = 100+ years

retro = new, made to look either vintage/antique.

“You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for our own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think can be most useful.” ― Marie Curie
