Awesome hot air balloon like the moon using NASA pictures

  • 5 years ago
A stunning inflated model of the moon eclipsed other exhibits at an international hot air balloon festival yesterday (Thurs). The huge inflatable - seven metres across - is an art installation made of panels featuring detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. Each centimetre on artist Luke Jerram's sphere represents 5km on the actual surface of the moon. It was launched above Bristol's International Balloon Fiesta yesterday where festival-goers were encouraged to 'moonbathe' below it. The helium-filled balloon - called Museum of the Moon - will be tethered to the ground throughout the four-day festival.
