"Imagine if you will, that there was a world where a based white boy who has that black teen swagger and is goated with the sauce lost his rizz. Can this jit say that his drip is bussin when he can't rizz up the local gyatt, no cap fr? Can this mid simp get the glowup and slay once more? Find out on this episode of, The Twilight Zone."

'Twilight zone?? ' huuhh.. 😵‍💫

Packing for a Journey into the Twilight Zone

Submitted for your consideration: A team of researchers from more than 20 institutions, boarding two research vessels, heading into the ocean’s twilight zone.

The twilight zone is a dimly lit region between 650 and 3300 feet below the surface, where we’re unfolding the mystery of how tiny ocean organisms affect our planet’s climate.

These tiny organisms – called phytoplankton – are plant-like and mostly single-celled. They live in water, taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.

Two boats, more than 100 researchers from more than 20 partner institutions, and a whole fleet of robotic explorers make up the EXport Processes in the Ocean from RemoTe Sensing (EXPORTS) team. We’re learning more about what happens to carbon dioxide after phytoplankton digest it.

The Equipment to Find Phytoplankton

Phytoplankton have predators in the ocean called zooplankton. They absorb the phytoplankton’s carbon, carrying it up the food chain. The EXPORTS mission will focus partly on how that happens in the ocean’s twilight zone, where some zooplankton live.  When phytoplankton die, sometimes their bodies sink through the same area. All of this carries carbon dioxide into the ocean’s depths and out of Earth’s atmosphere.

Counting Life

Studying the diversity of these organisms is important to better understand what’s happening to the phytoplankton as they die. Researchers from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science are using a very fine mesh net to sample water at various depths throughout the ocean to count various plankton populations.

Researchers from the University of Rhode Island are bringing the tools to sequence the DNA of phytoplankton and zooplankton to help count these organism populations, getting a closer look at what lives below the ocean’s surface.

Science at 500 Feet

Taking measurements at various depths is important, because phytoplankton, like plants, use sunlight to digest carbon dioxide. That means that phytoplankton at different levels in the ocean absorb and digest carbon differently. We’re bringing a Wirewalker, an instrument that glides up and down along a vertical wire to take in water samples all along its 500-foot long tether.

This journey to the twilight zone will take about thirty days, but we’ll be sending back dispatches from the ships. Follow along as we dive into ocean diversity on our Earth Expeditions blog: https://blogs.nasa.gov/earthexpeditions.

'A sickness known as hate. Not a virus, not a germ-- but a sickness nonetheless, highly contagious, deadly in its affects. Don't look for it in the Twilight Zone-- look for it in the mirror. Look for it before the light goes out altogether.'

Here some memes of Twilightzone if you're sad

Reader trying to understand what Bella is saying after falling asleep through another rant about Edbling

Reader about the whoop Bella's ass for bringing her into her weird shit with the Cullens

Reader whenever Edbling (Edward) and Jakbark (Jacob) exist

Reader with Edbling

Reader waiting for Bella to stop ranting about Edward

That's it
