Moon Jelly
Cynthia Gutierrez, 15, and her sister Jenny, 10, examine a Moon Jelly
(Aurelia aurita) at Heal the Bay’s Santa Monica Pier Aquarium during its Ocean
Appreciation Celebration on Sunday, August 24, 2008. Ocean Appreciation Celebration marks the debut of an exhibit featuring a
180-gallon jelly kreisel, a circular tank specially designed to protect the
delicate structure of the approximately 40 moon jellies on display. Moon jelly
are probably the most common and widely recognized type of jellyfish. They can
be found in the Atlantic, Arctic and Pacific Oceans near the coasts. The animal
ranges in size from 5cm to 40cm across. The moon jelly is easily recognizable by
its four violet or pink crescent shaped gonads on the underside and at the
center of its translucent bell or umbrella. Like many other species of
jellyfish, the moon jelly’s ability to move by itself is limited, so it is
subjected to the water currents of the ocean.

Gerry & the Pacemakers
Gerry & the Pacemakers perform at the Santa Monica Pier during the 24th
Annual Twilight Dance Series on Thursday, August 14, 2008. Gerry & the Pacemakers came from the
same Liverpool scene at the Cavern that spawned the "Mersey Beat." One of the
top Liverpool beat groups of the early 1960s, Gerry and the Pacemakers followed
the Beatles and many other British music groups on the "British Invasion" of
1964. Remembered for such hits as "I'm The One," their biggest U.S. hit "Don't
Let the Sun Catch you Crying" and "Ferry Cross the Mersey," which became the
title of a touching and beautiful film homage to their home town. Gerry &
the Pacemakers were TV regulars on The Ed Sullivan Show, Hullabaloo, Shindig,
Ready Steady Go! and featured in the legendary TNT/T.A.M.I. Show concert.
