Life in Light

Bioluminescence is derived from the word-roots BIO, meaning life, and LUMIN, meaning light. Noctiluca scintillans is a bioluminescent dinoflagellate, also commonly known as Sea Sparkle because it glows neon-blue at night when agitated. Just as light illuminated life in the cosmos at the beginning of time, so too does Noctiluca scintillans, showing an electric display of life by illuminating the darkness of the ocean waters at night. Noctiluca scintillans are so small that one drop of water can contain thousands of these single-celled organisms.
