Huge Mars sculpture to be displayed at cathedral

A huge replica of the planet Mars is to be suspended from the ceiling of Leicester Cathedral.

The 7m (23ft) piece of art will go on display between 16 May and 8 June.

The cathedral said the sculpture, created by artist Luke Jerram, was an opportunity to "consider the mysteries of creation in a place where faith, art, and science converge".

NASA imagery has been used to recreate the installation's Martian landscape, the cathedral added.
