I took a visit to see artist Luke Jerram`s Museum Of the Moon as it was suspended inside Leicester Cathedral. The piece is the focus of events by the University Of Leicester to mark British Science Week 2018 and is a joint project between the Artist, University and the Cathedral. Measuring 7 meters in diameter, MOTM features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the earths nearest neighbor and is lit from inside. At a scale of 1:500,000, each centimeter of the spherical sculpture represents 5 km of the moon’s surface. After the visit to Leicester the work will travel to the Commonwealth Games in Australia. for further information Artist:  www.lukejerram.com Leicester Cathedral: www.leicestercathedral.org University Of Leicester Science Week: https://le.ac.uk/science-week

As building developments continued along Great Central Street and Vaughan Way in the city center, a team of archaeologists from The University Of Leicester discovered several roman buildings and the biggest preserved mosaic found in the city for 30 years.  Also found among the ruins of the site thought to be over 1,500 years old where pots, cooking utensils, brooches and a rare sunken room thought to be a possible shrine. My video shows a number of details at the site as it was opened up to a public eager to view the ruins of the cities roman past. For further information on the dig please visit the ULAS website.
