Remember that one scene in The Empire Strikes Back where Darth Vader’s in his meditation chamber? Anyone remember that?
Credit: Lars Johan Hansson. The stealthy predator Mnemiopsis leidyi, also known as the sea walnut, uses tiny hairs, called cilia, to create a current which prey don’t notice until they are sucked into its mouth region, surrounded by two large oral lobes. The sea walnut swims using fused cilia, which diffract light in many colors in this photo.
