Have you ever heard of a blue banana? Well if you look under a black light with a ripened yellow banana it is actually blue. The banana's blue glow was discovered by scientists at the University of Innsbruck in Austria and Columbia University in New York, the first team to look for this phenomenon in bananas. Scientists think that the chlorophyll is the cause of the color. They also believe that the banana could aid animals who eat bananas and can see in the ultraviolet range of the spectrum. Neat!
