Award-winning illustrator brings solar system to Derry for Our Place in Space

Jazz at Jupiter, yoga at sunrise, and an encounter with an alien are just some of the out of this world experiences on offer when 'Our Place in Space' launches this Friday in Derry on Earth Day.

Designed by the award-winning author and artist Oliver Jeffers in collaboration with astrophysicist Professor Stephen Smartt, the 10km, 3D sculpture trail blasts off at Bay Road Park in the city on April 22 and marks the beginning of a meteoric, month-long, schedule of free events.

The Our Place in Space trail weaves its way along the banks of the River Foyle, where each of our solar system's planets has been recreated as a contemporary art sculpture designed by Mr Jeffers.
