An interesting game where you are presented with 10 artifacts from the MET. You have to place where the artifact is from and what time period it is from. Each artifact scores up to 10,000 points, and you lose points the further away your guess is and how far off in time you are. You can only play once a day. Thanks to @baebeylik for showing this to me.

Today I scored really well. Yesterday ... not so much.

Happy World Ocean Day! 🌊💙 🪼

For decades, MBARI's underwater robots have explored the ocean’s pelagic realm—one of Earth’s largest, but least-understood, living spaces—revealing the astonishing diversity of animals that live there. Every expedition uncovers new insights about the biodiversity, food webs, and processes that sustain life in the ocean.

As human activities and climate change continue to reshape marine environments, long-term exploration and observation are more important than ever. This #WorldOceanDay, we celebrate the scientists, engineers, communicators, and operations crew working together to advance ocean knowledge and the discoveries that help inform the future of our blue planet.
