We currently have the museum of the moon in Hexham Abbey. It’s a 6m diameter replica of the moon suspended above the crossing. Put together from NASA satellite images. Pretty spectacular!
We went there to a lecture given by photographer and astronomer Wil Cheung on the formation of the solar system and the moon.
As we went in we in we were given a leaflet on the Abbey which included a prayer: “Oh God who formed the moon and created all life on Earth……..”
The irony of attending a lecture on cosmology in a building erected by creationists was not lost on me.
PS Also went to see a Pink Floyd tribute band doing Dark Side beneath the instillation. That was pretty cool too!
