[WATCH] Discovering Mariana Trench: NOAA Digging Up The Deep Blue Sea With Robotic Submarine

As the Mariana Trench is settled in the deepest part of the ocean, people have a very limited knowledge of what is living there. Hence, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) navigated a robotic submarine called Deep Discoverer that will explore the deep blue sea.

According to BBC, the underwater device has an installed camera that can be streamed online showing Mariana Trench via NOAA's ship, Okeanos Explorer. It will be on a three-month voyage to check the living organisms in Mariana Trench, like fish, deep sea corals and mud volcanoes.

Also, Tech Times reported NOAA is presently doing a study on the geology of the Mariana Archipelago. "Despite decades of previous work in the region, much of the [Mariana Trench marine national] monument and surrounding areas remain unexplored," NOAA said in a statement.

BEAUTY IN MOTION:This stunning jellyfish was captured at a depth of approximately 3,700 meters by a remotely operated vehicle tethered to the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer as the scientists explored the informally named "Enigma Seamount" near the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument. Scientists were able to identify this hydromedusa as belonging to the genus Crossota. Note the two sets of tentacles — short and long.

By far, Okeanos Explorer found shrimp, jellyfish and black pillow lava in Mariana Trench. NOAA, too, expects to see hydrothermal vents, sponge areas and more in the exploration of its robotic submarine.

National Geographic demanded the Mariana Trench must be discovered, as per CSMonitor. Mariana Trench has the ability to house living beings in spite of being in an outermost state.

With this, National Geographic believed that Mariana Trench might have something that can help the advancement of "medicine and biotechnology." Rocks found in the Mariana Archipelago could support the study of Earth's plate tectonics, earthquakes happening in the deep sea and tsunamis.

The scientists, too, thought mud volcanoes in Mariana Trench can give the ideal state of the first life to succeed on Earth. Meanwhile, NOAA wants the public to see the wonderful world Mariana Trench has.

Aside from the live stream online, NOAA also publishes images from Mariana Trench found by Okeanos Explorer under navigation. NOAA explained the robotic submarine's journey is not only good for the institution's research but, also for the public to see.

"The live video feeds are available to anyone online, providing the public with a front row seat to exploration activities and discoveries as they are made." NOAA, together with its group of collaborators, provides live video and snaps of the Okeanos Explorer from April 20 to July 10.
