Sea Robot Dives 3,000 Ft To Record Glowing Creatures

These are just some of the terrifying bioluminescent creatures found in our ocean's 'Twilight Zone'. The creatures inhabiting the dark depths 3,000 feet below the surface are now being documented by a research robot called 'Mesobot'.

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) described the 'Mesobot' in the Science Robotics journal as a remotely piloted vehicle that can also function autonomously at depths of up to 1,000 metres (3,300 feet).

The Mesobot is tasked with exploring the 'twilight zone' which lies beyond the reach of sunlight at a depth of between 200 and 1,000 metres (650-3,300 feet).
