Summary

Description
English: The Terra MODIS instrument acquired this true-color image of a phytoplankton bloom off of the Tasmanian coast in the Tasman Sea on November 26, 2002. The phytoplankton, which are microscopic marine organisms that use photosynthesis to create energy, appear to be caught in a whirlpool, which causes them to swirl in a clockwise pattern.
