Good morning! It’s Thursday, and I have something beautiful for you.
Meet Aurelia aurita, also known as the moon jelly. Something between a haunted lampshade and a dancing umbrella, this luminous jellyfish has no real mode of propulsion. It just drifts with the current in a perpetual dance of surrender.
Update: This is a live camera that apparently is not lit during the night. If you tried earlier and all you saw was darkness with relaxing music, do come back in a few hours when Aurelia aurita is awake again. I promise, it’s worth it.
Until tomorrow,
Clara
As soon as I saw the photo, I thought oh I loved seeing the jellyfish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium... and then I realized it was a link to the live feed from said aquarium! This is one of the treasures I miss from my 20+ years in the Bay Area for sure. We loved being members. Such a magical place.
This is the most calming thing I have seen in a very long time. I’m going to watch it forever.
