For the first time, such a splendid sea of milk began to be reported in the 18th century. But so far, there is no evidence to support this phenomenon.
Scientists took the picture of the “milky sea” in the ocean. This is the magical glow of the water, observed by sailors for centuries, according to The Guardian.
It was noted that the phenomenon occurs due to the fact that bioluminescent bacteria glow in water.
“Such milky seas are not to be seen near the shore, they appear very far into the ocean. So you never know what time you will have to send a scientific ship to photograph this event. Right now , very few have witnessed this phenomenon., ”said Stephen Miller of Colorado State University, USA.
He showed satellite images showing a white area in the Indian Ocean, with an area of approximately 100,000 square kilometers. The scientist suggested that it could be a “sea of milk”.
“For the first time, such brilliant milky seas began to be reported in the 18th century. But until now, there is no evidence confirming this phenomenon. Now we know that this glow covers the a vast territory in the ocean.The most important thing is that the satellites that will record this future phenomenon can point the way for scientific ships so that scientists can study this phenomenon. it under the sea in more detail, ”Miller said.
