A stunning installation in one of Glasgow's most picturesque churches is bringing the city's residents face to face with a beautiful miniature replica of the planet Earth suspended in the air.
The incredible artwork is named after the Greek Goddess of Earth, Gaia, and was created by artist Luke Jerram. It is being displayed in Charles Rennie Mackintosh's only-built church, Mackintosh Queens Cross on Garscube Road.
The three-dimensional floating globe is six metres in diameter and features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth's surface and is designed to be a scale representation 2.1 millionth the size of the real Earth and each centimetre of the internally lit sculpture describing 21km of the Earth’s actual surface.
