Luke Jerram's Museum of the Moon - Chester Cathedral
Chester Cathedral has unveiled its latest installation, which will be open to visitors this weekend.

Measuring six 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.
