"The 'Museum of the Moon', a seven-metre-wide replica of Earth's satellite, has captivated locals and tourists alike in Queretaro's Historic Centre as part of a cultural programme promoting art and science in public spaces. Footage filmed on Wednesday and Saturday shows locals and tourists taking pictures of the illuminated spherical installation at Plaza de Armas. Suspended by a metal structure, the replica Moon appears to float gracefully among the surrounding buildings. The installation, created by British artist Luke Jerram, offers visitors a rare chance to view the Moon up close - an experience usually reserved for telescope lenses. "This seven-meter-diameter sphere is made based on a NASA satellite scan. They are real topographic images," said Pablo Rodriguez, Director of REM for Mexico and Latin America. The project took more than six months to build and used over half a million topographic photographs of the Moon. "The satellite scan is what allows us to have all these images. And then, the resolution of the print is truly breathtaking," Rodriguez added. The installation attracted families, students, and tourists alike, not just for its size, but also for the evening activities it hosts, including astronomy talks, guided tours, and nighttime artistic performances. "It really looks quite real, it’s a magical experience, it looks very nice, I think it lights up Queretaro," said one of the event's attendees. Local authorities announced that the installation will be available throughout October in different parts of the city. Since its creation in 2016, the monumental replica has been presented in several cities across more than 30 countries, including the United Kingdom, India, Belgium, Australia, the United States, France, Canada, Romania, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, and Spain, among others."
