NASA satellites have captured a massive, neon-green bloom in the North Pacific that is visible from space. On May 15, 2026, marine biologists reported that the plankton colony has reached the size of Texas. While plankton is vital for carbon absorption, the sheer speed of this “super-bloom” is unprecedented. Researchers believe a unique combination of shifted ocean currents and subterranean volcanic activity may be fueling the growth, which could either be a miracle for CO2 reduction or a threat to local fish populations due to oxygen depletion.
