Lyssianasid Amphipod aka Antarctic Shrimp Discovered by NASA 600 Feet Below Ice

When scientists from NASA dug a hole through the arctic ice to bury a video camera 600 feet (183 meters) below it, they didn’t expect to find any higher life forms in this place where no sun rays ever make it though. To their surprise, an Antarctic Shrimp known as Lyssianasid Amphipod came to check their camera out and even parked itself on a camera cable.

The discovery of the shrimp like Lyssianasid Amphipod as well as a jellyfish at the underbelly of the Antactic ice sheet opens new questions on where else could higher life forms be discovered. NASA ice scientists admit that they expected to find nothing more than certain types of microbes in a place where light never shines so what was Lyssianasid Amphipod doing there?

The 3 inch long Lyssianasid Amphipod is not a shrimp, just a distant relative that looks like one. Some scientists speculate that sub freezing, permanently dark waters below Antarctic ice sheet may not be the permanent dwelling of this Lyssianasid Amphipod, stating that the orange critter may have swam there from great distances.

The biggest puzzle remains – what does the Lyssianasid Amphipod feed on in this hostile environment. The reason why scientists didn’t expect to find nothing but microbes down there is that they are capable of feeding themselves on chemicals dissolved in ocean water, but higher life forms such as a shrimp or a jellyfish need more than that to survive.

The discovery of Lyssianasid Amphipod comes to show how little we know about the planet we tend to think we know everything about. If advanced life forms exist in these harsh conditions, could there be any on distant planets? Is Lyssianasid Amphipod just the beginning of it? Could there be much more to discover in human unchallenged waters deep below Antarctic ice?

Video of Astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper Losing Tool Bag in Space

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

This is the video of that tool bag female astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper who lost the tool bag worth $100,000 in space.

Video actually shows gross negligence on behalf of astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper who let go of the tool bag, likely thinking that it will float right next to her, but the tool bg decided to float away while the dumb bag astronaut watched it go away for good.

According to NASA, any debris floating up in space can reach the speed of 22,000 miles per hour. Any particle flying at that speed can cause severe damage to a craft controlled by people. NASA actually reports that had to replace 80 windows on their space crafts that got damaged as result of collision with small objects, such as a drop of paint that fell off during careless painting by another astronaut.

Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper was spacewalking with her tool bag in effort to clean and lube up a joint on a solar panel outside the international space station. She said her grease gun exploded on her which is why her clumsy hands let the tool bag with all her tools float off. Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper is part of seven member crew on Endeavour. Another crew member – Stephen Bowen provided his tools so the greasing effort was accomplished.
