Marine biologists and researchers have long been captivated by the ocean’s twilight zone, a mysterious region located between 200 and 1,000 meters below the water’s surface.
This mysterious place, shrouded in darkness all year round, is teeming with an incredible diversity of life, most of which remains unidentified and unrecorded.
Modern technology, in the form of robotic submersibles, is now illuminating this secret world and offering rare views of the marine life that inhabits the twilight zone.

YouTube has a video that shows a portion of the enormous and enigmatic underwater world.
An organization dedicated to ocean research, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), revealed that they immersed two robots in the water to capture amazing scenes of the ocean’s twilight zone.
It is the region that lies just below the surface of the ocean and outside the direct line of sunlight. The term “twilight zone” refers to the region between 200 and 1,000 meters below the surface, according to The Guardian.
It is home to many marine animals and critters, including dead phytoplankton and fish droppings, which feed on billions of tons of organic materials.
When did they find the rare marine life scene?

In the month of October they found this footage.
Why did scientists throw robots into the ocean?
Because the ocean is so large, it can be difficult for scientists to locate the species they want to research.
Part of the title reads: “This is why two ocean robots are better than one at capturing these rare images of Twilight Zone animals!” During the Nautilus Live mission in October, scientists used the robots.
They deposited them in the “dense areas of marine life” using WHOI’s Mesobot Hybrid Remotely Operated Vehicle (HROV).
