It may come as a surprise, but some small marine creatures may have a big impact on oceans, CO2 levels and the environment.

6 Minutes 42 Seconds

6 Minutes 42 Seconds The July 22nd total solar eclipse was the longest of the 21st century. From the point of maximum eclipse along the Moon's shadow track across the Pacific Ocean, the Moon completely blocked the Sun for a total of 6 minutes and 39 seconds.

Mercury can be seen near the eclipsed Sun. Venus lies near the upper right edge of the frame.
