I'm a bit late to the party posting this but here is one of my favourite shots from a couple of visits to take my little ones to see the moon. I got some great shots for the family album of them posing and flying past the moon.
➡️Mesmerising and beautiful.
A 27-ft diameter moon replica by British artist Luke Jerram, suspended on wires in the Miami evening sky, on its world tour.
The Painted Hall in the Old Royal Naval Collage, Greenwich has some mirrored tables so that you don't have to bend your neck looking at the ceiling. These were in great demand for reflection photos during the 'Museum of the Moon' exhibition. This is another phone shot as despite using my wide angle lens on the DSLR, I couldn't quite capture the same effect.
Making its Canadian debut, the traveling exhibit Museum of the Moon created by UK artist Luke Jerram measures seven meters in diameter and features 120dpi detailed imagery of the lunar surface. At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents five kilometres of the moon's surface.

»Museum of the Moon« zeigt eine Nachbildung des Mondes von 7 Meter Durchmesser, die im Hauptschiff der in Hildesheim gelegenen St. Andreas Kirche schwebt. Die Installation ist eine Verschmelzung von detaillierten NASA-Bildern der Mondoberfläche, Mondlicht und einer Sound-Komposition des BAFTA- und Ivor Novello-Preisträgers Dan Jones. Jeder Zentimeter der von innen beleuchteten Skulptur stellt etwa 5 Kilometer der Mondoberfläche dar. Das metaphorisch gemeinte “Aufeinandertreffen von Himmel und Erde” zeigt sich hier im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes und lässt das scheinbar Unerreichbare in greifbare Nähe rücken. Siehe auch www.my-moon.org.
“Museum of the Moon” shows a 7-meter-diameter replica of the Moon floating in the nave of St. Andrew’s Church in Hildesheim. The installation is a fusion of detailed NASA images of the Moon’s surface, moonlight and a sound composition by BAFTA and Ivor Novello Prize winner Dan Jones. Each centimetre of the sculpture, illuminated from the inside, represents about five kilometers of the Moon’s surface. The metaphorical “encounter of heaven and earth” is literally revealed here, bringing the seemingly unattainable into tangible form. Move closer. See also www.my-moon.org.

Festival of the Moon, Winchester Cathedral, Winchester, Hampshire, UK
Well I’m back at last! As some of you will know I had a week up in The Wirral and for once managed to combine some photography with family stuff. I normally fail at that! Anyway, just before I came back I managed to tweak my back and then made it worse by doing laundry on the night of my return….there must be a lesson there!! 😉😃. Consequently apart from a few Flickr comments on my phone I’ve not been out with the camera or sat editing photos hence my absence on Flickr and tardiness in comments/responses. Thanks for your patience.
Anyway, I came across Luke Jerram’s work by chance on Flickr and it really blew me away. Not my normal genre but captured my imagination. I’ve been trying to shoot some of his work whilst it tours but dates/locations have not made it possible. Having been away and not being one for Faceache etc imagine my surprise therefore when part way through last week I found out that the Moon was on my doorstep hanging in Winchester Cathedral and due to finish today! Back or no back I had to visit. Earliest I could get in was Friday when I went purely handheld but I returned Saturday with a micro-tripod (rubber feet so no damage to the stone floors) and this was one of the shots (focus stacked) I got. I had to edit it 3 times as for some reason having updated the ON1 software it’s not working/saving edits properly…grrrr. Anyway. Managed to get this exported.
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.
Main challenge, as I’m sure you will appreciate in a cathedral is people in the shot! I managed to get in early before any other tourists which, for a Saturday, I was amazed at. Getting foreground interest was the challenge but found something which I think works. Nothing I could do about the way the blue lighting shows on the stone walls. It’s like that in all the shots whether focus stacked or bracketed.
For anyone interested in Luke Jerram’s work see his website and displays are going on around the world www.lukejerram.com/
Have to say seeing it in a location like Winchester Cathedral with over 900 years of history does add a spiritual feel to it.

As part of the 2022 Spectra Festival in Aberdeen, Luke Jerram's 'Museum of the Moon' art installation was exhibited in Aberdeen Music Hall. The model of the moon features NASA lunar imagery.
I went to see Museum of the Moon at Lichfield cathedral. I have seen several of Luke Jerram's creations and so enjoy them. If it is in your neighbourhood then definitely worth seeing.
The Museum of the Moon at the Natural History Museum in London, England, is a quite amazing. It is a great place to learn about the moon also.

Having missed the chance to see this event/art installation back in 2021, I found out, with a bare week to spare before it ended again, the giant replica Moon was back at the Painted Hall in Greenwich. And like last time, advance tickets were long sold out. However, a limited number of walk in tickets were available at 10.00 and 12.00am and 2.00pm. So getting up early in West London on a train strike day I made my way to Greenwich via Tube and DLR to South London and was one of the first in the queue for 10.00am. In the end I spent the full 2 hours in the Painted Hall taking pictures of this 'art installation' on my Camera's and phone. At various times they also played JFKs 'Go To The Moon' speech and various recordings from the Apollo space program to give a nice feel to the whole event.
#DerbyKnifeAngel
The spectacular, 27 feet high sculpture is made from around 100,000 bladed weapons collected in knife amnesties during police surrenders across the country.
The Angel was created by the British Ironwork Centre with sculptor Alfie Bradley.
Relatives of those killed by knife crime were invited to engrave the blades with names and messages for their loved ones as part of the sculpture
Museum of the moon
The Museum of the Moon in Derby Cathedral measures 7 metres in diameter.
The moon features detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface.
The scale of the moon is approximately 1:500,000, so each centimetre of the internally lit, spherical sculpture represents 5 km of the Moon’s surface!
It is made from a fire-resistant, white fabric with the imagery printed onto its surface.
To keep the moon inflated, it has a small fan embedded into its north pole.
Once inflated, it weighs 40 kg.
To date, 17,000 images have been posted on Instagram. Help us make it 18,000 by using #Museumofthemoon

Luke Jerram’s stunning Museum of the Moon installation was a daring concept for the Society, but the effect within Mackintosh Queen’s Cross was totally breathtaking and mesmerising. This combined by a conceptualised programme of events created a unique and intimate experience where visuals and music became one. Truly outstanding in every way and a big thank you must go to everybody concerned.
The Moon may have left the building, but it has left a lasting impression on everybody who witnessed it.
The serene glow of the ‘Museum of the Moon’, an awe-inspiring artwork by Luke Jerram, has transform Tewkesbury Abbey into a space of wonder, reflection, and imagination. Measuring seven metres in diameter and featuring detailed NASA imagery, the internally lit Moon sculpture floats amid the Gothic arches, accompanied by a tranquil soundscape composed by Dan Jones.
Throughout its residency at Tewkesbury Abbey in Gloucestershire, visitors can book tickets for Illuminated Viewing Evenings — a chance to witness Luke Jerram’s Museum of the Moon in its most atmospheric light. As daylight fades, the Abbey’s vast interior becomes a contemplative space bathed in soft lunar glow and ambient music.
This was taken during a recent visit to Bath Abbey while staying with my Sister in Bath over Christmas. After seeing it at Chichester it so happened that Luke Jerram’s Touring exhibition Museum of The Moon was on display at Bath when I was there. 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. Thus this image shows accurately the south pole region of the Moon
For this picture I used a Sony A550 DSLR and placed it on the ground looking up directly under the moon and used a wired shutter release to take the picture. This was a first attempt and worked out pretty well considering that I could not see what I was taking. This is straight out of the camera with no editing, not even a crop.

Late night shot at Mackintosh Queen’s Cross of the stunning Museum of the Moon after the Vaseline’s concert.
I've been to the moon (and back!)
Luke Jerram's Museum of the Moon is a 7 metre helium filled balloon covered in images of the surface of the Moon. It is currently installed in the Great Hall of the Wills Memorial Building at the University of Bristol to celebrate the investiture of the new Chancellor Sir Paul Nurse.
Today and tomorrow free access is granted to the building to see it. The building alone is worth a visit and with the moon b'loon floating serenely above it it looks sublime. Go if you can!
Luke himself will be there tomorrow at 11.30 and 4.30 giving a talk about the project.
Tower Tours are also available but I suspect these will book up fast- best view of the city though.
Huge thanks to the @igersbristol crew who got access for a group of us on Thursday night, also my wonderful University in the shape of Philippa Walker who arranged it and Luke Jerram for continually making brilliant public art in the city.
PS All free but please make a donation on your way out, it all goes to Wallace and Gromit's Grand Appeal for the Children's Hospital and NOT the University.
Public service announcement now over, thank you!

Always wanted to see the moon close up and personal, and now I have done I can safely say that it's not made of cheese!!
In Explore September 25th, currently positioned #11. A thousand thanks for all interest, views, faves and comments, every single one is very much appreciated.
What an incredible way to kick-off our Museum of the Moon festival at Mackintosh Queen’s Cross. Start to End gave an amazing performance of Pink Floyd’s classic album Dark Side of the Moon and finished with an encore of Wish You Were Here and Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Definitely an unbelievable experience.
When I visited Southwark Cathedral after dark for the Museum of the Moon I was hoping for a nicely lit Cathedral and a more chilled out Atmosphere. Instead the whole timed slot thing had seemingly gone out the window and a constant stream of people through the door had the place full to bursting along with the noise. It was difficult getting a nice shot in the dark but found using flash at least gave a different appearance.
