Biosphere 2

The popular content creator spent a day in Southern Arizona touring the world's largest controlled environment for the video, "$1 vs $1,000,000,000 Futuristic Tech!"

Through the University of Arizona's collaboration with the French National Centre for Scientific Research, researchers around the world are advancing science that endures and improves lives.

An astronaut stand-in spent two weeks sealed inside the Space Analog for the Moon and Mars at Biosphere 2, sharing his breath with 144 pea plants to test how humans and vegetation could sustain each other in space.

A newly constructed stream feature in the Desert Biome habitat at Biosphere 2 will provide a home for Sonoyta pupfish and Gila topminnows, both listed as endangered species native to the region.

The Center for Human Space Exploration prepares humans to thrive in the harsh environments of space. Founding director Trent Tresch discusses the center's projects and how they support NASA's goals.

The new app features videos, animations and a modeling activity to help students more readily grasp the scientific concepts they learn in the classroom.

A desert ocean, Martian park and the hottest rainforest canopy on Earth can all be found at Biosphere 2, where researchers are studying the effects of climate change and exploring solutions for a better future.

The goal of the six-day simulation, called Imagination 1, was to explore the value of art in space exploration and produce creative works inspired by the limitations and possibilities of life and culture beyond Earth.

The center will advance research and conservation efforts, educate future conservation scientists and leaders and develop a broader understanding of the Earth's biosphere.
