28 Days : An Ecosphere of Your Own :: Exquisite

28 Days : An Ecosphere of Your Own
November 27, 2005

You have one, I have one, we all have that certain someone in our lives who is impossible to shop for and while NASA did not invent the Ecosphere as a gift for the difficult it did create these sealed glass bio-spheres to study self contained environments for astronauts. Creating a delicate balance the sphere is populated by algae, little red shrimp and microbes in a miniature ocean of filtered sea water. Requiring no feeding or care, only indirect light and moderate temperatures, Ecospheres can live for up to several years and some proud owners have reported spheres lasting up to ten years. Engage your imagination and read what Carl Sagan had to say about his Ecosphere then order your very own, or one as a gift from Postmodern Pets or Brookstone. Priced from $59.00 - $500.00
