The
moon is not made of cheese, is not home to the Clangers and a cow certainly
didn’t jump over it but somehow it did fit inside a cathedral, a feat that even
the Almighty may have found a bit of a headache to achieve.

| Mooning in church |
Suspended
above the alter at Chichester Cathedral is Luke Jerram’s fantastic ‘moon’, a 7m
ethereal sphere depicting earth’s moon. It’s
stunning!
 |
| It only just fits |
 |
| Shadowy patches across the surface |
As
you walk round the moon, you can clearly see the craters and dark shadows that
pockmark the surface.
 |
| Like a giant ball of Aero chocolate |
 |
| Or cheese? |
In
reality you would only ever see these things either from space or perhaps with
a super powerful telescope but here we are admiring this model moon as up close
and personal as you can ever hope to get to the real thing.
 |
| It's truly stunning to see |

Museum
of the Moon is at Chichester’s Cathedral for another few weeks – I’ve already
booked a return visit.

| One giant leap for mankind |
