Omg why did my brain first read the title as "Deep space" I was so confused for a moment and was looking for an onion link and not finding it and then I started to panic.

I had to read it a few times to finally notice my brain snuck in the space bit without me noticing... What a roller coaster.

That is rad af. I have been fascinated by these ever since I got into evolutionary biology in college like 20 years ago. Super cool to finally see one in it's natural habitat.
