A White Battle in the Black Sea

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Trillions of single-celled plants called coccolithophores live and die in Earth's seas. These phytoplankton create chalky armor by absorbing carbon dioxide, a defense against coccolithoviruses. This microscopic battle has raged for millions of years and contributes to geological formations like the white cliffs of Dover.
