A research team from the University of Tasmania's Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies got wind from the public that a rare species of fish has been spotted in the reefs just a few miles off the coast of Tasmania. Naturally, their divers went in to investigate and they were not disappointed. On a stretch of the reef about 400 square feet, they found eight <a href="https://rumble.com/v4fwe1-new-fish-species-found-in-deep-sea-east-of-australia.html" target="_blank">peculiar-looking fish</a> sporting gorgeous shades of red that seemed to be crawling along the ocean floor. Named for their pectoral fins that look eerily like human hands, the red handfish are deep ocean dwellers that travel along the floor with the help of their fins. The red handfish can grow between two and five inches in length and come in two color variants, a bright red and just embellished with red markings. Their main course on the menu are small crustaceans and worms. According to Rick Stuart-Smith, a research fellow at the University of Tasmania, “the species is easily one of the rarest fish in the world. The elusive fish were first spotted near Port Arthur on the Tasman Peninsula in the 1800s. Until now, a group of only 20 to 40 fish were known to be living on a stretch of reef near Hobart's Frederick Henry Bay.” In a statement, Stuart-Smith said: “We’ve already learned a lot from finding this second population because their habitat isn’t identical to that of the first population. So we can take some heart from knowing red handfish are not as critically dependent on that particular set of local conditions.” (source: National Geographic) And people still want to <a href="https://rumble.com/v30nvv-10-things-you-should-know-about-space-travel.html" target="_blank">go in space</a> instead.

You won't believe how many are in Earth's atmosphere, or their potentially devastating consequences. Watch this video to find out! You will be amazed! Earth’s orbital space is becoming increasingly crowded. An estimated 4,600 man-made satellites are orbiting our planet and per the Union of Concerned Scientists just over 1,700 of them work. Satellite collisions are rare because NASA and other organizations keep track of them. When launched they are placed in an orbit designed to avoid others. Along with the many satellites there’s also a ton of space junk. NASA says there’s more than 500,000 pieces of it <a href="https://rumble.com/v3180g-unidentified-objects-in-earth-orbit-july-2016.html" target="_blank">orbiting the Earth</a>. With all this stuff up there, why can’t we see it in the photos of Earth. It is because it is too small to see. Earth is 7,917.5 miles across and <a href="https://rumble.com/v4cb59-military-warns-china-russia-targeting-satellites.html" target="_blank">satellites</a> can be less than a foot to just a few hundred feet long. The International Space Station, for instance, is 357 feet long. It’s the largest man-made object in the orbit, but it is not visible in wide-angle photos thanks to Earth’s massive scale. However, size doesn’t matter when it comes to space junk. Most of it is small but can create obstacles or damage to important equipment due to the high velocity. A window on the ISS was chipped by a piece of space junk thought to be just a few thousands of a millimeter across. Can you believe these facts? Have you ever wondered how satellites orbit the Earth? Make sure you find out soon!

Humankind has always strived to find proof of life on other planets, but if this footage is any indication, we have been searching in all the wrong places. Recently, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration sent an expedition to the Gulf of Mexico to get a better look at what is living under the surface and the results are astonishing! Lurking deep in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico live creatures that are rarely seen. With the help of the Okeanos Explorer and its remotely operated vehicles, the NOAA managed to explore diverse habitats in the deep water. The footage they captured shows some wondrous <a href="https://rumble.com/v3s7un-10-disturbing-deep-sea-creatures-twisted-tens-52.html" target="_blank">sea creatures</a>. There is the long-nose chimaera fish, with its paddle-shaped snout and the mildly venomous spine on the dorsal fin, which it uses in defence. Then there is the cuck eel, which can grow up to 6 feet in length. One particularly alien-looking creature is the giant isopod, a bug-like dweller of the deep that can grow up to 20 inches in length, making it a true giant of the ocean. Also, there is something called the dumbo octopus, for one very obvious reason. Named after the beloved baby elephant in the Disney movie of the same name, the dumbo octopus has prominent ear-like fins on both side of its head. The largest ever recorded was 5.9 feet long! The one we love the most has the be the ‘Headless Chicken Monster’, which is actually a <a href="https://rumble.com/v442g5-greedy-sea-cucumber-gobbles-down-plankton-with-its-long-tentacles.html" target="_blank">sea cucumber</a> that looks like a mean little alien all dressed in red with some bright sparkles on it. It really looks like it could be searching for Stitch!
