During your time on the Internet, you've probably spotted a few photos of beaches covered in bioluminescent organisms. At the risk of waxing rhapsodic, these phenomenons look like God just poured glitter on Earth, or like the stars broke into pieces and fell into the sea. Most likely, you're familiar with these natural wonders from photos you reblogged when you had a Tumblr in middle school. But you can experience this phenomenon—known as bioluminescence—in real life.
