An illuminated hanging model of the moon has been installed in Peel Cathedral.
‘The Museum of the Moon’ has opened to the public this morning (9 February).
The composition is described as a ‘fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound composition’ and features detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface.

It’s been created by artist Luke Jerram who told Manx Radio’s Judith Ley it’s something that’s been 15 years in the making:
The 'Museum of the Moon' will be on display until 2 March usually between 9am and 9pm.
