Newton bioengineering has flooded the field. Dedicated scientists discover more and more species with bioluminescence each year. Slowly bioluminescence will be a common idea in the human world.
Life Unseen
Bioluminescence seems like an alien idea, and this notion may be true. Life all around our universe very well could be bioluminescent. In dark oceans this light would give crucial advantages to sea life. As close as Europa and Titan, moons of Jupiter and Saturn, alien life
could swim. Europa, blanketed with thick ice, most likely holds a liquid ocean underneath. This ocean would be larger than all of earths’ combined. Titan is know to hold oceans but not of water. The methane lakes on Titan may very well hold life situated to live in methane. These are only two possible alien ecosystems. Different solar systems could hold life which all adapted with bioluminescence. As time passes our knowledge about this strange topic grows. Bioluminescence shows us the true light of the world and, one day, others too.

More than 90% of all sea life is bioluminescent. This jellyfish is part of the few species that are not bioluminescent. Non-bioluminescent sea life is usually found in higher water.
