Star Wars has reached the deep sea as a new-to-science species has been named in honor of Chewbacca, everyone’s favourite Wookiee. A type of coral, it was first discovered on the seabed in Hawaiʻi and then seen again near the Mariana Trench. They also found another new species, named Iridogorgia curva. There are 10 species of these corals known to the western Pacific waters, many of which the team spotted along their travels. Like all coral, Iridogorgia are actually colonies of thousands of little polyps.
