In the bay southwest of the Japanese island of Honshu, a landscape of "blue tears" has emerged, and these stones are called "weeping stones". The mysterious blue is like the tears of the sea, making people feel mysterious and silent. Emitting this mysterious blue light is a marine invertebrate.
<h1>How do sea fireflies emit this light? </h1>
Sea fireflies are "fireflies in the sea". These sea creatures emit light because they have glowing glands in their bodies.
When the sea fireflies are stimulated, they will discharge the very small diameter of fluorescein yellow particles, colorless luciferase particles and mucus from the luminescent glands into the water, producing a light blue light.
This luminous substance, which is emitted from the glands of living organisms, converts chemical energy into light energy through chemical reactions. The energy it emits is very weak, called cold light.
Seaflies are small, but have hearts, which have the general characteristics of mesomorphic suborders, and having a heart is a major difference from other crustaceans.
Sea glow is when fluorescein and fluorescence enzymes are at play.
Sitting on the coast, blowing the sea breeze, quietly watching this beautiful fairyland-like blue light, making people feel more mysterious and silent at night.
