Description

A jellyfish has no brain, no heart and no bones, yet it always knows which way is down. Tiny pouches of crystals (the same mineral as plaster) roll onto sensitive hairs every time it tilts. You have the same trick inside your ears. So what happens to baby jellyfish born where there is no down at all? NASA found out in 1991. Full story in the related video. #jellyfish #science #space #shorts
