What it is:
A perfectly balanced, self-contained universe.
Why we love it:
Ecospheres are an entire self-contained universe, a self sustaining miniature world. The shrimp, algae and microbes thrive in a hand-blown glass sphere filled with sea water. No feeding required, just place in an area that gets sufficient light and be amazed. The ecosphere was developed by NASA to study self-contained communities and developed into this fascinating balance of science and art.
Where to get it:
