Luke Jerram's Museum of the Moon at Leicester Cathedral for British Science Week 2018
Luke Jerram’s Museum of the Moon has been brought to Leicester by Professor Turi King as the centrepiece for the University of Leicester’s British Science Week celebrations.
Kindly hosted by Leicester Cathedral, it will be in the Cathedral for all of British Science Week, from March 9-18th, 2018.
Museum of the Moon is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram.
Measuring seven metres in diameter, the moon features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 5km of the moon’s surface.
Since its debut in August 2016, the Museum of the Moon has been presented in a number of different ways both indoors and outdoors, in venues from churches to swimming pools, so altering the experience and interpretation of the artwork. As it travels from place to place, it gathers new musical compositions and an ongoing collection of personal responses, stories and mythologies, as well as highlighting the latest Moon science.
Luke Jerram’s multidisciplinary practice involves the creation of sculptures, installations and live arts projects. Living in the UK but working internationally for 20 years, Jerram has created a number of extraordinary art projects which have excited and inspired people around the globe.
The Museum of the Moon was inspired by living in Bristol and noticing the huge tidal variation as he cycled over the Avon Cut each day. His moon research also led to his artwork Tide.
The massive 21m-wide, high resolution image used to create the Moon artwork, was created by the Astrogeology Science Centre in the USA. The imagery was taken by a NASA satellite carrying the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera launched in 2010.
This clip was produced by External Relations at the University of Leicester.

Richard III - What's next for Leicester
On the day of the Judicial Review Decision on the final resting place of King Richard III we look behind the scenes and ask those tasked with the reburial 'what's next?'
Leicester Cathedral and RichardIII
Richard III was the last of the Plantagenets meeting his death on Bosworth Field . Shakespeare' s depiction of him is no doubt scribed to conform to the House of Tudor ,We shall never know What is known is that some years ago his body was unearthed approx 100 metres from the Cathedral . DNA science enabled a perfect match to be made with a direct descendant of Richard . .The rest as they say is history .His remains are now in a tomb within Leicester Cathedral .This took place last year . The direct descendant made the coffin himself .There is a documentary on the discovery and following work ..I can recommend a visit to all interested in such .

King Richard III's Coffin Arrives at Leicester Cathedral
Richard III's austere oak coffin was carried to Leicester Cathedral this past weekend in preparation for the king's reburial. When the medieval monarch was first laid to rest, in 1485, his naked body was placed in a hastily dug grave under the floor of Grey Friars monastery in Leicester, England. Grey Friars was demolished and then covered up by centuries of development, until archaeologists from the University of Leicester relocated it in 2012, and astoundingly uncovered Richard's grave beneath a parking lot. This week, Richard, the last king of the House of York , is being reburied with all the pomp and circumstance of a royal funeral.
King Richard III laid to rest at Leicester Cathedral
A service to mark the reburial of King Richard III has taken place at Leicester Cathedral.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, The Most Rev Justin Welby, presided over the service with local senior clergy and representatives of world faiths.
Sophie, Countess of Wessex and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester were among the guests.
