Small Sphere
Product Description
Within the EcoSphere globe are active micro-organisms, small shrimp, algae and bacteria, each existing in filtered sea water. Because the EcoSphere is a self-sustaining ecosystem, you never have to feed the life within. Simply provide your EcoSphere with a source of indirect natural or artificial light and enjoy this aesthetic blend of art and science, beauty and balance.
Because the living organisms within the EcoSphere utilize their resources without overpopulating or contaminating their environment, the EcoSphere requires virtually no maintenance.

About the Designer
July 15th, 1982 – Joe Hanson of Jet Propulsions Labs in Pasadena held a workshop for the newly created study of “Closed Ecosystems.” This is where the “EcoSphere” was created. As a new class of science- Closed Ecosystem research created as many questions as it answered. It was Joe Hanson who, at the time was working on the first Space Shuttle program at JPL, realized the potential scientific implications of closed ecosystems to applications for human space exploration.
