Find Out Why The Researchers And Scientists Decided To Seal Up The Deepest Hole On Earth

The Antarctic Sunstar

The Antarctic sunstar was one of the strangest creatures the team discovered down there. The researchers, on the other hand, gave it a dreadful moniker. They dubbed it the Death Star, and we can see why they chose that name. Labidiaster annulatus is the scientific name for the animal. It is a cousin of the common starfish, but it is a very different creature.

Also Known As The Death Star

For starters, the Death Star has the potential to have up to 50 arms! It can also grow to the size of a hubcap. The skin on the arms is coated in tiny pincers that close when they come into contact with something. Most of the time, the unfortunate victim is a passing krill. This isn’t even the strangest thing about the sunstar!
