Scientists Finally Solve Mystery of ‘Golden Orb’ Found on Alaskan Seafloor - Gizmodo
Overview
Researchers solved the mystery of a strange, mound-shaped “golden orb” discovered on the Alaskan seafloor in 2023, determining it to be a clump of remnant cells left by a sea anemone. After more than two years of testing and analysis of hundreds of samples, the team ruled out exotic explanations such as an alien organism. The finding highlights how unfamiliar deep-sea structures can be misinterpreted and underscores the value of sustained sampling and lab work.
