Welcome to the Exploratorium’s Internet2® gateway, where you’ll find a collection of Web resources that take advantage of cutting-edge Internet2 technology.


Internet2 is a university-led effort to develop advanced network applications for research and education. Most Internet2 applications make use of Abilene, a high-performance computer network that provides bandwidth, responsiveness, and reliability that’s far superior to the “commodity Internet.” Learn more about Internet2.


Many K–12 schools (over 20,000) and most large universities are connected to the Internet2 Abilene network. To find out if you’re connected, ask your computer network administrator, or download The Internet  Detective.

At the Exploratorium, we dissect cow eyes to show people how an eye works. This Web site shows photos and videos of a dissection.
