This is. . . .
A. A ghost.
B. The computer reconstruction of the structure of mammoth globulin.
C. The moon reflected on a river in England.
D. A new iPad app that lets you blow virtual smoke rings.
E. A newly discovered deep-sea jellyfish.
It's actually C, a ghostly photo of the moon taken by Tim Knowles. See more of his work at his website.

In the twilit waters of the deep ocean, beneath about 1000m of water, swims the brownsnout spookfish (Dolichopteryx longipes). Like many other deep-sea fish, the spookfish is adapted to make the most of what little light penetrates to these depths, but it does so with some of the strangest eyes in…
I study deep-corals (gorgonians mostly) but I am fascinated by all things cnidarian (sea anemones, hydroids, jellyfish, corals). These are suspension feeders that filter food from the water column, so I am also inevitably drawn to dabblings in physical oceanography, and I will try to post on these…
Bathynomus giganteus (Arthropoda: Crustacea: Isopoda: Cirolanidae)
You know those cute little roly-poly bugs you found under rocks as a kid? You poke at them and they curl up into a little ball? Well, magnify that times 1000, take away the functional role of the eyes, head to the deep-sea…

The coelenterates, corals and their relatives, are very ancient, and in fact may be the oldest…
Easy. It's the non-corporeal, apophatic essence of Skeeter.
Well, it's probably that, too.
A. ~ Nope, ghosts don't exist
-> B. ~ Probably, considering the subject of the blog
C. ~ There are frequencies of distortion missing for it to be related to water
D. ~ Probably not, I'm sure I would have heard of it somewhere else too. Also, a little too fine in resolution and interesting shapes
E. ~ Nope, no color differentiation & nothing else in the water
E! E!!!
...d'oh.
Whoa -- the moon option seemed the least likely. My best guess was that it was a time-lapse photo of a firefly (...or something like that). But now that you mention it, the spherical core of the moon does pop out a bit.
I got it right! Go team me ;) I figured that it was brightest in the middle and the right shades of gray. I am the type of person who sometimes stares, mesmerised by the ripples on water.
I think this is the second one of these that I've gotten right . . . .
