Researchers at the the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) made the discovery Aug. 30 while using remotely operated vehicles to scour the seafloor as part of a larger ongoing expedition to record and study areas never before been seen by humans.
While gliding the device over a rocky outcrop two miles underwater, team members aboard a NOAA ship came across what one of them initially described as a “yellow hat.” But upon closer inspection, the object attached to a rock appeared “smooth, gold (and) dome-shaped,” NOAA said in a news release.
