00:00:18.940 --> 00:00:23.400
Extreme close ups in the deep ocean can lend an air of beauty and abstraction

00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:29.400
that might be unexpected from an exploratory mission.

00:00:38.720 --> 00:00:40.300
Wow

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:46.400
During a dive, scientists often request close-ups.

00:00:46.580 --> 00:00:48.720
Oh can we zoom in on that urchin?

00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:49.920
Yeah. Zoom.

00:00:52.720 --> 00:00:54.140
Center it up. Hold it there.

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.600
From the scales of a fish,

00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:25.360
to the structure of a glass sponge,

00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:29.780
or the tentacles of an anemone,

00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.140
these aren’t just pretty pictures--

00:01:40.420 --> 00:01:42.420
they also provide important scientific information.

00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.500
Often close examination is needed
to classify an animal.

00:01:59.180 --> 00:02:01.220
Wait. What the heck is that? What IS that?

00:02:09.160 --> 00:02:12.980
These photos and videos provide insight into how animals behave in their natural habitats.

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:24.900
These observations help us build a better understanding of the ocean as a whole.

00:02:42.420 --> 00:02:43.100
How wonderful
