The ironey is that we know more about outer space, than we do about our oceans

Re: 'Milky seas' detected from space
I wonder if what Jim Lovell/Tom Hanks said on Apollo 13 was true... Where he said all the lights shorted out and he couldn't see where the ship he was supposed to land on was because it was it was in blackout/stealth mode. He said the wake of the ship caused phosphorescence from algae in water.
Maybe you just have to be in the right place at the right time.

Yes, it's true, bioluminescence in ships' wakes is a known and documented phenomenon (or, sometimes, problem):
"Bioluminescence has betrayed the positions of submarines and sealed their doom. Sailors have detected the luminous wakes of torpedoes. Returning pilots have followed luminescent trails over many miles to find their aircraft carriers, as have their enemies. Navy SEALs are mindful of certain beaches where bioluminescence would give them away."
