The Okeanos Explorer ship -- operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) -- caught sight of the jellyfish on Feb. 21 during a dive in the Utu seamount, a previously unexplored area, according to the agency. 。

The jellyfish wasn't the only creature seen during the dive deep into Utu.。"Moving along the dive track, we also observed glass sponges, sea stars, carnivorous tunicates, crinoids, and anemones, as well as several halosaurs and two cusk eels," NOAA researchers said 。

The remotely-operated vehicle is allowing scientists to explore this area to learn more about the life that exists in a poorly studied area. Okeanos has been exploring the deep seas on this mission since Feb. 16 and should continue to do so through April. 。
