March 05, 2009 Scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California recently solved a longstanding mystery surrounding the Macropinna microstoma, or barrelfish, a deep-sea creature with two glowing green eyes and a see-through skull.

But really, we just wanted to watch footage of a fish with a see-through skull. Clearly so did a lot of other people—this particular video, which shows the barrelfish floating in dark murky water while a narrator drones in the background, had gotten over 900,000 hits as of this writing. As one of the comment writers under the video succinctly put it: "that fish is the definition of awesome."
