“Nature's creative power is far beyond man's instinct of destruction.”

Cosmic Jellyfish Collection
Our Cosmic Jellyfish Collection combines our fascination with the Space and our admiration for the Sea. The sea is a desert place where man is never lonely. It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe. It is a collection full of mystery, color and sublime balance inspired by a remarkable historical event.
During NASA's first Spacelab Life Sciences mission in 1991, Biologist Dorothy Spangenberg began conducting an experiment to learn about how weightlessness affected the development of juvenile jellies.
To carry it out, the space shuttle Columbia launched into space 2,478 jellyfish. Over the course of the mission, the creatures proliferated. By mission's close, there were some 60,000 jellies orbiting Earth.
