official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY In the waters off New England, one of Earth’s rarest mammals swims slowly, mouth agape. The North Atlantic right whale filters clouds of tiny reddish zooplankton — called Calanus finmarchicus — from the sea. These zooplankton, no bigger than grains of rice, are the whale’s lifeline. Only about 370 ofContinue reading “NASA Data Helps Map Tiny Plankton That Feed Giant Right Whales”
