Huge Mars sculpture on display at cathedral
Available for over a year
A huge replica of the planet Mars has been suspended from the ceiling of Leicester Cathedral. The 7m (23ft) piece of art is on display between 16 May and 8 June. The cathedral said the sculpture, created by artist Luke Jerram, was an opportunity to "consider the mysteries of creation in a place where faith, art, and science converge". NASA imagery has been used to recreate the installation's Martian landscape, the cathedral added. Artist Luke Jerram spoke to Â鶹Éç Leicester's Ady Dayman.
