Floating Earth at Royal Albert Dock will soon be switched off

This week is the last chance to see the Floating Earth lit up on the Royal Albert Dock.

The ten-metre replica of Earth will soon be switched off having been on display since Friday, April 28. The artist behind Floating Earth, Luke Jerram, created Gaia - a six-metre replica of Earth previously displayed in Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral and St Chad's church in Kirkby.

Similar to Gaia but bigger, Floating Earth uses NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface, giving visitors the chance to see Earth floating in three dimensions. The artwork uses water as a natural mirror to provide a breathtaking visual effect.
