Sea Star and Kelp Under Ultraviolet Light, Des Moines, Washington

A purple sea star (Pisaster ochraceus), shown under ultraviolet light, is among strands of eelgrass at low tide at the edge of Puget Sound in Des Moines, Washington. The glow is the result of phosphors that convert ultraviolet radiation, which is invisible to human eyes, into wavelengths that are visible. This scene was captured under black light.
