Mysterious whiting events in the ocean have had scientists stumped for over seven years and we're still no closer to finding an answer.
For more than seven years, scientists have been scratching their heads, trying to figure out what causes mysterious whiting events in our oceans. One of the most recent events, which was photographed from space back in 2015, showcases several large white deposits in the water of the Bahamas.
Of course, that photograph from 2015 isn’t the first time we’ve observed these mysterious whiting events, as NASA and others refer to the mysteriously milky white splotches that appear in our oceans, lakes, and other bodies of water around the world. Despite how much we’ve seen them happen, they continue to confuse scientists because we just aren’t sure what causes them.
As I noted above, whiting events like the one seen in the photo from 2015 aren’t unusual. Rare, maybe, but not unheard of. And in the past, scientists have collected samples from these mysterious events, even revealing that there are high concentrations of fine-grained calcium carbonate particles within them. But we still don’t know what causes them.
Image source: NASA Earth Observatory image by Joshua Stevens, using Landsat data from the U.S. Geological Survey The image, and the question of what causes these events, has come up again thanks to NASA’s Earth Observatory sharing the 2015 image as the image of the day back on Monday, January 23. By revisiting the old image, NASA has once again reminded us of the mystery that these whiting events offer. Further, the areas in which these events occur seem to be growing quite a bit.
